When a FAKE Officer matches with a REAL Officer on Tinder: Case of Rice Treshon Dukes 30.04.2025 29min

Imagine it's a Saturday night, you get a little bored and decide to go on tinder. You swipe and swipe until you see someone that catches your attention. His name is Treshon, he's 26, lives 3 miles away from you, so you message him. Not expecting it to go anywhere, you start to notice this guy is pretty funny, he's charming, maybe this guy is different from the rest. The only odd thing about Treshon is that he's a police officer at the Bernalillo county sheriff's office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And it's not weird he's a police officer, it's weird because you yourself are also a police officer, working at the Bernalillo county sheriff's office in Albuquerque and never once seen him around despite him claiming to work there for years. When this happened to a female officer for the BCOS, Treshon's tinder profile was flooded with selfies of him in BCOS uniform, gear, vest, badges and gun on his holster. She went into work the next day and showed his tinder profile to her co–workers and none of them recognized him either. But if he wasn't a real police officer, then how did he obtain all the real badges and uniforms? And how many other women has he manipulated to believe this in the past?
