The individual has been identified and was arrested by HPD on July 15, 2016 for impersonating a police officer .
Luis DaChuna was identified as the impostor after another incident at Koji Restaurant where he identified himself as a Hartford Police Officer and flashed a badge during an altercation. During the investigation, DaChuna was identified as a State of Connecticut DCF employee and the badge he was flashing was a DCF badge and was the same badge shown in the alleged prostitute video on YouTube. During an interview with HPD, DaChuna apparently admitted to the impersonation incident and his involvement in the alleged transvestite prostitution video
From HPD:
On 11/28/15 a party, later identified as Luis DaChuna, was being belligerent inside Koji Sushi Restaurant and Bar located at 17 Asylum. When DaChuna was asked to leave the establishment, he claimed he was a Police Officer and said that he would "Shut the place down!". As the owner
escorted DaChuna to the door, he flashed a badge (DCF) and once again stated he was a Police Officer and said "you don't know who you are messing with." Officer Tran, who was outside on an unrelated call, intervened and determined that DaChuna was indeed flashing a Department
of Children and Families badge and that DaChuna was not a Police Officer. The incident was documented under case # 15-39994. A follow up investigation was conducted by Detective Kashmanian, and an arrest warrant was granted for Dachuna on 1/15/16. Detective Kashmanian,
along with the assistance of the HPD Vice and Narcotics unit, and the Newington Police Department, took DaChuna into custody on the evening of 1/15/16 at 66 Kimberly Road in Newington, CT. DaChuna was transported to 50 Jennings where he made a verbal admission to the
incident, as well as identifying himself as the subject of a recent controversial YouTube video in which he was wrongfully depicted as a Hartford Police Officer.
LaChuna was arrested by HPD ( the real ones) and charged as follows:
Arrested: Luis DaChuna DOB 7/21/70 66 Kimberly Road, Newington CT
