Randall Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19709083/ Police: Fake cop pulls over real cop 25-year-old with flashing lights, badge arrested after he stops wrong car The Associated Press Updated: 10:29 a.m. CT July 11, 2007 BOHEMIA, N.Y. - There were flashing lights atop his SUV and what appeared to be a police badge in his hand, but it was the man he tried to pull over who was the real police detective. Robert Lane, 25, was arrested Tuesday on charges of criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, Suffolk County police said. Lane was driving an SUV fitted with flashing lights when he tried to stop the off-duty New York police detective on a highway on Long Island, Suffolk police said. They said Lane told investigators the detective had cut him off. The detective got suspicious when Lane drove up alongside him, identified himself as an officer and flashed a small police badge, Suffolk police said. The detective showed his own police ID and ordered Lane to pull over, then followed him when he didn’t and called in local police to arrest him, authorities said. Lane could not immediately be located for comment. © 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
