Man posing as cop arrested after pulling over real officer

July 11, 2007 - BOHEMIA, N.Y. (AP) - Robert Lane, 25, was arrested Tuesday on charges of criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

Lane was driving an SUV fitted with flashing lights when he tried to stop a off-duty New York police detective on a Long Island highway. The detective got suspicious when Lane drove up alongside him, identified himself as an officer and flashed a small police badge. 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.

Lane could not immediately be located for comment.
