PITTSBURGH — A man was arrested for joining a rapid response team at an emergency call and posing as a nurse.

WTOL reported that Kyle Jones was allegedly wearing the same light blue scrubs as nurses at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital and said he was working for a company called “Visiting Angels.”

Police said no one knew who he was and he did not have a hospital ID badge.

After learning that Jones did not work for the company and was not even a nurse, police arrested him.

He was charged with impersonating a professional, criminal trespass, falsely impersonating persons privately employed and disorderly conduct.
