Manuel Chico, “make-believe” officer of the law

He used police lights and sirens to run lights and get past traffic

Newsroom April 6 01:51

Western Texas police arrested Manuel Chico for impersonating an officer.

 

According to a… real officer of the law, Chico’s truck was at a drive-through when it started flashing the usual red and blue that can be found on Police cars. The lightshow was accompanied by the loud sounds of a police siren.

 

At first, the police officer thought that Chico was a volunteer firefighter. When he saw other cars moving by so that Chico’s car could come through he quickly moved to the truck to see if he could lend aid.

Thankfully for the rest of the drive-through civilians, the whole thing didn’t take long since Chico revealed that he used the lights and siren to be able to run red lights. The police officer arrested him. Chico was set free as he met the 15,000 USD bail, while he is due to appear before court.
