HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — A Seabrook man is charged with pulling over a car and impersonating a police officer. Sixty-one-year-old Lamont Stewart was arrested on Sept. 19 on charges of false personation and criminal restraint.

He’s accused of following a driver for about 15 minutes while shining a spotlight on him. When the driver pulled over to let him pass, Hampton police said Stewart identified himself as a police officer and asked him about his driving.

Police say Stewart was wearing a high visibility vest, had fake badges, a spotlight and two holstered weapons later determined to be BB guns. A passing driver reported it to police. Stewart has pleaded not guilty.
