Man Arrested for Impersonating Officer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A man impersonating a police officer was arrested after he tried to pull over a motorist — who turned out to be a real cop.
The off-duty officer became suspicious because the lights on the imposter's car were blue. Kansas City police use a combination of blue and red flashing lights, said police spokesman Capt. Rich Lockhart.
The officer called a dispatcher and a nearby patrol car tried to stop the suspect, who was driving a blue Crown Victoria, a vehicle commonly used by police.
The suspect led police on a six-mile chase that ended after officers used "stop sticks" to puncture the suspect's tires. The man lost control of his car and crashed into a utility pole, Lockhart said.
The 30-year-old suspect, who was not identified, jumped out of his car and ran a short distance before he was captured.
Authorities were questioning the man Wednesday and had not released a possible motive. No charges had been filed as of Wednesday afternoon.
It's scary how some people are really this STUPID!
