Deerfield-area man charged with impersonating police officer

A Deerfield-area man was charged with impersonating a police officer after a Lake County sheriff's deputy responded to a domestic dispute on the 100 block of Inverrary Lane.

When the deputy began speaking to 35-year-old Ryan W. Chrzanowsky, he claimed to be a law enforcement officer as well as a Purple Heart recipient, according to a news release. Both claims were determined false after an investigation Wednesday, the news release said. He was charged at 9:22 p.m. Wednesday.

Chrzanowsky appeared in court Thursday and was released on a $25,000 personal recognizance bond. His next court date is Oct. 11.
