Man Accused of Impersonating Police Officer As Part of Revenge Plot

A Dacula man is facing charges of impersonating a police officer after allegedly targeting a Buford woman who he blamed for interfering with his attempt to get a prescription refilled.

According to Gwinnett County Police, David Robert Lewallen, of 1720 Katrina Jo Ann Circle in Dacula, concocted an elaborate scheme to exact revenge against the Buford woman, who is an employee at a Buford medical clinic.

On Sept. 10, police responded to a suspicious person call at a Buford business. The caller told police a male identifying himself as a police officer presented a badge and began asking questions about the clinic employee. The male, later identified as Lewallen, was reportedly wearing a black t-shirt with “POLICE” on it and was driving an older model Ford Mustang. The caller said he found a flyer with the clinic employee’s photo and name printed on it when he arrived at work that morning. The flyer had the words “Have you seen this person?” printed above the clinic employee’s photo and listed some “alleged charges” against her. Another worker in the same business complex had also found a flyer with the clinic employee’s name and photo.

The following day, the clinic employee spoke with police. After an officer described the suspect to her, the employee indicated she knew who it might be and showed the investigating officer a copy of Lewallen’s driver’s license.
