An Oak Lawn man accused of spying on Bridgeview grocer Mohammed Salah for the government now is jailed on charges he pretended to be an FBI agent.
Jawad Al-Arouri, also known as Jack Mustafa, is charged with impersonating a federal officer after parading around with a gun and using his phony ties to the FBI to try to finagle some $500,000 from an unnamed individual about to travel overseas, according to the criminal complaint made public Friday.
Al-Arouri, 47, was arrested Thursday in Hickory Hills. He appeared Friday before U.S. Magistrate Morton Denlow and was sent to the Metropolitan Correctional Center until a hearing Wednesday, said Randall Samborn, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago.
