In addition to being an officer of the law, Pimentel is also a Marine Corps veteran, and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

It was in the Marines that he developed a passion for bodybuilding. He started lifting while on active duty, and even placed second at the National Physique Committee New Jersey State Championship in 2013.

Since his photo started been circulating recently, Pimentel says he's started to get recognized. “I’ve already gotten a couple of women approach me on the street, saying, ‘Oh you’re the cop on Facebook,'" he told the New York Daily News.

He added that his co-workers are constantly taking jabs at him and his newfound fame. “All day, all day, they're breaking my chops all day long,” he said.

Despite a little ridicule he admits he's enjoying the attention. “I think it’s awesome. I mean who doesn’t like a little positive publicity?”
