Beer bottle helps nab fake cop

Jasper man accused of sexual assault on masseuse in ruse.

A North Georgia man halted his own massage and pretended to be an officer while committing indecent acts in front of a masseuse, Roswell police said Wednesday. But the beer bottle he left behind contained key evidence: his fingerprints.

A day after asking for the public’s help to identify the man, police announced his arrest.

Investigators be l ieve Guetter entered Massage Angel, located on Woodstock Road, around 10 p.m. Tuesday. He was carrying a Heineken beer bottle, Thompson said.

“During a massage, the suspect identified himself as a police officer, attempted

to handcuff the masseuse, and performed indecent acts in the presence of the masseuse,” Thompson said in an emailed statement. “The suspect then left the business in his own vehicle.”

Guetter left the beer bottle at the business, Thompson said Wednesday. Investigators were able to identify Guetter based on fingerprints found on the bottle, police said.

He was a rrested late Tuesday and charged with false imprisonment, criminal attempt to commit rape, impersonating a public officer, sexual battery and battery. Guetter was being held Wednesday morning at the Fulton County Jail.
