When you’re as drunk as Logan Shaulis appears to have been, generally you’re doing your best to avoid DUI checkpoints, not parking your car across a highway, pretending you’re a state trooper and pulling people over because you’ve decided that you *are* the DUI checkpoint.
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.”
He was arrested and charged with drunk driving, impersonating a public servant and unlawful restraint. At last report he was in jail, probably pretending he’s a prison guard who got trapped on the wrong side of the door by accident or something.
