JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A woman said she was driving in a neighborhood last month when she was pulled over by what she thought were police, only to find out they were fake officers.

The woman, who asked not to be identified in exchange for an interview, described exactly what happened.

"It looked like a police car, and that's never happened to me before, you know," the woman said. "Who would've thought?"

The unidentified woman said it all happened on Monday night Oct. 19.

She was driving down the road with three other friends in a neighborhood on Hastings Street, and before she knew it, they were being pulled over by what they thought were undercover police officers.

"They said, 'Get out of the car,'" the woman said.

She said she doesn't remember seeing a badge or a police uniform, but the car was similar to a Chevy Impala, a common police car used in undercover operations.

The woman said one of the men had a gun and even identified himself as an officer.

She said the reason they pulled over is that the unmarked car was shining a spotlight into their vehicle and motioning for them to stop.

"They asked if we had anything illegal and drugs," the unidentified woman said. "No, of course not. Then they asked for my ID. I put my purse on their car."

She said a woman named Brandy Sellers, one of her friends who was also in her vehicle, walked over with her wallet. Before she knew it, the two so-called cops grabbed their wallets, purses and keys and took off.

"They left really, really quick," the woman said.

But what she didn't know was the story got much more convoluted after that.

It turned out that Sellers wasn't a friend at all. In fact, police said Sellers was the mastermind behind the whole operation.

"I didn't know her that well, but I had been hanging out with her all that day and would've never thought that in a million years, ever," the unidentified woman said.

Investigators said Sellers was caught talking about the setup in a jailhouse conversation.

They later learned that two men, Scott Ferguson and Anthony Pitts, were the ones in the fake police car.

Police later arrested Randy O'Hearn because they said he was in the vehicle with the victim the entire time and knew about the setup but didn't do anything to try to stop it.

"It's terrifying," the unidentified woman said. "I told the cop, 'What am I supposed to do? Do I pull over? Do I not pull over now?'"
