ROSENBERG, Texas (KTRK) -- Rosenberg police arrested a former police chief in Colorado County for impersonating an officer at a construction site.
A spokeswoman for the department said when the responding officer arrived at the site, Christopher Cannon, 37, was seen in a Weimar Police Department uniform with a gun in his holster and had a badge, according to the department.
He said he was working an extra job, as many officers do, but the officer found he is not currently employed by the agency whose uniform he wore.

Records from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement show that he is not employed by any police agency currently.
TCOLE told ABC13 that his license has an administrative hold as of Apr. 24, 2023, and he is not eligible to work as a peace officer.
The hold was placed days before an arrest warrant was issued in Colorado County for Cannon.
Currently, Cannon has three open cases for tampering with or fabricating evidence.
He was hired as an Eagle Lake police officer in September of 2022.
Shortly after, officials in Colorado County say they were told he was a bigamist. According to an official, Cannon never divorced his wife before marrying someone else.
