Senior Army Officer Accused of Impersonating Policeman in Alleged Stalking Incident

A senior Army officer, Lt Col Greg Blunden, 49, is facing accusations of impersonating a police officer in connection with an alleged stalking incident. The incident involves him reportedly following a woman, whom he is suspected of stalking, from her residence after secretly observing her for a period of three days.

The married father of two allegedly proceeded to conduct a phony stop and search on the woman, during which he physically patted her down. The situation took a turn when the woman confronted him loudly, prompting Blunden to flee the scene.

Having received training at Sandhurst, Blunden resides in family quarters owned by the Ministry of Defence in Uxbridge, West London. Last month, he was formally charged with offenses that include impersonating a police officer, assault, and stalking.

Following his arrest, Lt Col Blunden was held in custody and is scheduled to appear at Kingston Crown Court on September 15th for further proceedings.

Up until his arrest, Lt Col Blunden had been employed at Strategic Command, which holds oversight over several of Britain's Special Forces, including the SAS and SBS units.

Known for his passion for rugby, Blunden, a former public school student, earned the nickname "Bluffers" from his colleagues.

Inside sources have reported a considerable sense of astonishment among his peers regarding his arrest. Despite not having commanded his own regiment, he was respected for his seniority and reliability within the ranks.
