Quote: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.”

I thought it was a drunk guy ran through a fake DUI checkpoint. Figured that was fair.

You know, that was my first thought when I saw the headline as well.

Despite being fake, it was actually a successful check point. One of the charges brought against him was DUI.
