Gagnon left before police arrived, but witnesses said he was wearing police apparel and left in a Ford Crown Victoria, believed to be a used, unmarked police car.
A short time later, police say Gagnon went to the Purple Parrot Restaurant where he solicited a 19-year-old male employee. A shouting match began, and management asked Gagnon to leave, to which he allegedly made a number of statements about being a law enforcement officer.
Rehoboth police were called and arrested Gagnon. He was turned over to state police and charged with failing to re-register as a sex offender, impersonating a police officer, and sexual harrassment.
Gagnon was sent to prison on $15,000 bond. He was ordered not to have any contact with either of the victims in this incident.
