A "Masonic Police Department"?

Three people (two men, one woman) are in hot water for impersonating police officers by creating a "Masonic Fraternal Police Department" in Santa Clarita, California. From the website of KHTS AM in Santa Clarita:

County prosecutors filed a complaint against three men sought by Sheriff’s Department officials last week in connection with charges they organized a fake police department and pretended to be officers. 

The court documents accuse three men — David Inkk Henry, aka Rudolph Rusell, 46; Tonette Denise Hayes, 58; and Brandon Kiel, 31 — with charges that include perjury by declaration for calling the “Masonic Fraternal Police Department” a state agency, and impersonating a police officer. 

The allegations stretch back to January, and allege that the three men introduced themselves, in a uniform, as their own police agency, which is against the law.

The investigation is being handled by the Emergency Operations Bureau of the Sheriff’s Department, which released few details, citing “an ongoing investigation.”

Santa Clarita Valley deputies made three arrests Thursday, when a search warrant was served at a Canyon Country home on Linda Vista Drive, and at least two men were charged with impersonating a police officer. 

A website for the group lists the following information:“The Masonic Fraternal Organization is the oldest and most respected organization in the “World.” Grand Masters around the various states are facing serious safety concerns for their Jurisdictions and their family members. The first Police Department was created by the “Knights Templar’s” back in 1100 B.C.” 

A website identifies the group’s “chief of police” as “Chief Henry.”The group’s website also claims to have deeper roots than “other police departments,” because it was “here first.” The organization’s page claims to have a headquarters in Beverly Hills. A call to an 818 number listed there was not answered. 

Henry could face six charges: three counts of perjury pertaining to alleged claims over the fictitious police department, and three counts of impersonating an officer. 

Hayes and Kiel could face six charges, with  five counts of impersonating an officer, and another count citing unlawful use of identity. 

All three were released on various bail amounts and due back in court to answer to the charges.

The group's website contains little information other than this:
