You have to give the guy points for creativity and nerve.
Cops say 19-year-old Logan Shaulis was equipped with handcuffs (we don’t want to know), a BB gun, a scanner and road flares when he created his roadside ruse.
Sue Weimer told CentralPA.com, “We saw cop cars. We saw flares, we couldn't figure out what was going on.”

Shaulis stopped at least one car in the usually quiet neighborhood. That driver told cops the teenager told her he was a state police trooper by the name of Steve Rogers.
Yes, that is the same name used by comic book hero Captain America. And the cherry on top, Shaulis himself was drunk.
Chief Randy Cox gave drivers tips on how to know if a DUI check is real. "You can see as many as 18 officers being required to be involved in a checkpoint," he noted.
District Judge Sandra Stevanus was not amused by the stunt. She sent Shaulis to jail with bond set at $50,000. A preliminary hearing is set for June 9, according to the Associated Press.
WPXI reports that Shaulis remained in the Somerset County Jail Tuesday on charges including drunken driving, impersonating a public servant and unlawful restraint.
SOMERSET, Pa. —
State police say a man who pretended to be a state trooper running a drunken-driving checkpoint on a western Pennsylvania highway was drunk himself.
That's why 19-year-old Logan Shaulis, of Somerset, remained in the Somerset County Jail Tuesday on charges including drunken driving, impersonating a public servant and unlawful restraint.
Shaulis faces a preliminary hearing June 9. Troopers say Shaulis parked his vehicle diagonally across state Route 601 and set up road flares about 4:10 a.m.
•Man accused of impersonating state trooper, setting up road block in Somerset Co.
A motorist who stopped says Shaulis claimed he was a state trooper and demanded to see the driver's license, registration and insurance papers.
Police say Shaulis tried to hand a BB pistol to the car's passenger as real troopers arrived saying, "I can't get caught with this."
