Golden allegedly told authorities that he and the woman “were into ‘cosplay’ (costume play) and that is why they had the police tactical vests with DEA/Police patches, fake guns and handcuffs.” He reportedly went on to reveal that he bought the fake badges and credentials from various websites, including Amazon, eBay and Wish. In a criminal complaint filed last Thursday in the US district court of Oregon, first reported by the Daily Beast, federal prosecutors alleged that Golden had been impersonating a DEA special agent and had for the past year tricked the unsuspecting woman into believing that she was “training to be a DEA agent”. That same night, Jacobsen took the pair into the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Portland office, where Golden was arrested. The man, identified as Robert Edward Golden, told Jacobsen that he and the woman were “feds” and that he was a federal agent working in Portland. Upon further investigation, Jacobsen found holsters, handcuffs, badges, credentials and an AR-15 style rifle – later identified as a BB gun.
