Meanwhile in New York . . .

A 25 year old was driving down Hicksville Road in a black Nissan Sentra when he decided to turn on his air-horn and the emergency lights built on his car, then attempted to pull over a van.

Yes, the dude was impersonating a police officer.

Unfortunately for him, that van happened to be full of Nassau County Electronics Squad detectives.

The detectives identified themselves, and that’s when the dude took off, veering into oncoming traffic, making his attempted getaway while travelling at high speeds.

Highway patrol was notified about the situation and, upon spotting him, initiated a traffic stop.

Dude was placed under arrest and is looking at first-degree criminal impersonation and second-degree reckless endangerment and unlawful fleeing from a police officer . . . and a few more violations.
