PICKERING, Ont. – A 19-year-old Pickering man has been charged after police say a motorist used flashing dashboard lights and a siren on his car to pull over and confront another driver.
The charges stem from an incident Thursday when police say a 40-year-old man driving his truck in the city east of Toronto saw flashing blue and red lights and heard a siren from the vehicle behind him.
It’s alleged that the truck driver pulled over and stopped, but instead of a uniformed officer approaching his window, a young male appeared and yelled at him about his driving.
Police say the suspect returned to his car and drove away but the truck driver followed him and called police.
A suspect was later arrested without incident and police say his car was towed for examination.
Elliot Kotsopoulos is charged with impersonating a peace officer and has been released on conditions.
