A Fort Collins man has been arrested for impersonating a police officer, according to the Larimer County Sheriff's Office.
According to a post on the agency's Facebook page, the case started on January 28 when a man reported that a red Toyota 4runner had driven up behind him and activated red, white and blue emergency lights and a siren. The motorist didn't stop because he was suspicious that the vehicle was not being driven by a real law enforcement officer.
When the driver refused to stop, the 4runner followed him for a while and then turned around and drove away.
The motorist reported the incident to the sheriff's office, giving deputies a detailed description of the 4runner. Investigators were able to track down the vehicle west of Fort Collins and identified its owner as 43-year-old Hugh Clark of Fort Collins. According to the post, a search of the car turned up radios, handcuffs and clothing with law enforcement insignias.
