Florida man at it again...

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Fake-Cop-Real-Officer-333564441.html?cid=sm_fb

An Escambia County man was arrested Friday and charged with posing as a law enforcement officer after he pulled over an actual deputy.

Joshua Lynam, 24, of Milton, had red and white lights installed in his pickup truck and pulled behind a deputy from the Escambia County Sheriff's Office who was riding in an unmarked vehicle, according to the Pensacola News Journal.

&quot The officer saw the emergency lights, and he pulled over to the side to let him go by," Sgt. Andrew Hobbs told the press, &quot Lynam) pulled up behind him, and pretty much did a traffic stop."

In 2013, Lynam was reportedly arrested for threatening to beat an officer with a video game controller and commit suicide if he turned of Lynam's computer.
