The Kansas Highway Patrol is warning drivers to be aware of an imposter.  Emergency officials tell us someone is pretending to be a KHP trooper. Officials tell us the impersonator pulled over a driver on K-42 in Kingman County.  The suspect handcuffed the driver, searched the car and stole a pocket knife.   He never gave a reason for the stop. He was wearing a dark navy uniform, but didn't give his name or badge number. Troopers tell us they will always have a badge of office on their shirt along with a nametag.
