Fake officer stopped real officers for speeding

A man driving a truck with police lights on top made a mistake Wednesday when he decided to make a fake police stop. The two men he pulled over and accused of speeding on NM 104 in San Miguel County were actually State Police agents traveling in an unmarked truck. When questioned by the State Police agents, John Shelton, 26, of Logan, who had a pistol on his hip, claimed to be a member of the New Mexico State Police Search and Rescue, an emergency medical tech and a fire fighter, and said he was being trained as a law enforcement officer – none of which would authorize him to make a traffic stop.
