I\u2019m not the police.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But little did he know Reyes wasn\u2019t alone. Watching from inside, Reyes\u2019 wife grabbed her own gun and rushed out to confront the fake cop. Chaos erupted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the suspect bolted, he lost his shoes and even dropped his gun. Reyes drew his own weapon and fired multiple shots, hitting the suspect at least once before the man crawled into the getaway car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe police told me I did a great job,\u201d Reyes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities later identified the suspect as 39-year-old Jonathan Prince, now charged with robbery and impersonating a public servant.
