A 25-year-old man, pretending to be a state trooper, was arrested Thursday after police say he attempted to pull over an actual officer.
According to police, Zachary Schmidt, 25, of Bloomsbury Borough, was driving his white, Jeep Grand Cherokee when he turned on blue emergency lights and flashed a placard with a New Jersey State Police decal in attempts to stop a motorist.
Unfortunately for Schmidt, the car was being driven by an off-duty State Trooper. At which point, the trooper contacted dispatch unit and provided the vehicle and driver information. A trooper was dispatched and positively located and arrested Schmidt.
He was transported to Perryville Station and charged with impersonating a public servant and released pending court.
