Drunk Pennsylvania Man Sets Up Fake DUI Checkpoint...Is Promptly Arrested

[Contrary1]

Try as I might, I simply cannot come up with a comment.

SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — Police say a man who set up a drunken-driving checkpoint complete with road flares while pretending to be a Pennsylvania state trooper was drunk.

Troopers say 19-year-old Logan Shaulis, of Somerset, parked his vehicle diagonally across state Route 601 and set up road flares at about 4 a.m. Saturday.

A motorist who stopped says Shaulis claimed he was a trooper and demanded to see a driver's license, registration and insurance papers.

When real troopers arrived, police say Shaulis tried to hand a BB pistol to the car's passenger and said, "I can't get caught with this."

1. Maybe a dare or a bet?

Fraternity hazing maybe?

2. I know a guy who

pulled up behind a trooper that had pulled over someone. He stumbled up and told them it was an illegal stop.
The cop told him to wait in his car, then arrested him for DUI.
Not the sharpest pencil in the box, that guy.
Oh, and true story.
