SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — Police say a man who set up a drunken-driving checkpoint complete with road flares while pretending to be a Pennsylvania state trooper was drunk.
Troopers say 19-year-old Logan Shaulis, of Somerset, parked his vehicle diagonally across state Route 601 and set up road flares at about 4 a.m. Saturday.
A motorist who stopped says Shaulis claimed he was a trooper and demanded to see a driver’s license, registration and insurance papers.
When real troopers arrived, police say Shaulis tried to hand a BB pistol to the car’s passenger and said, “I can’t get caught with this.”
He faces charges including drunken driving, impersonating a public servant and unlawful restraint. He remained jailed Tuesday. Online court records don’t list an attorney for him.
A preliminary hearing is set for June 9.
“Hey! Hey! I am the victim here…don’t nobody forget it goddamnit!”…
It seemed like such a good idea at the time!!!
And now that you have provided this officer with the appropriate auto documentation, it is time for the mandatory breast and pelvic exam.
Well, there’s not much else to do in Somerset on a Saturday night…
This is what happens when a person channels their inner George Zimmerman while drunk.
