A student who dressed up as a cop and pretended to snort cocaine could be facing prosecution for impersonating a police officer.
Darren McFadyen appeared in a video wearing very authentic-looking police uniform, complete with a baton and cuffs, before snorting a line of white powder.
Police Scotland investigated and were quickly satisfied no genuine officer was involved.
But the force confirmed it is now looking into "potential criminality".
Darren, 26, an events management student at Edinburgh College, insists he took part in the stunt - filmed at his flat in the city last week - as part of a comedy "sketch".
