Oh dear -- as criminals go this one seems especially dumb...
Hartford police say that a fake cop was busted after stopping the real one
HARTFORD, Conn. - Police say a Connecticut man playing police officer picked the wrong person to pull over.
Israel Gomez was arrested after pulling over an off-duty Hartford police lieutenant. Police say 20-year-old Gomez turned on flashing lights and used a siren and loudspeaker to coax police Lieutenant Ronald Bair off the road.
Bair called for backup, and officers arrested Gomez and 20-year-old Esteban Cardona.
Gomez is charged with impersonating a police officer, reckless driving and improper use of red flashing lights.
Cardona, who was driving another car involved in the bogus traffic stop, is charged with reckless driving.
