Fake Cop Arrested After Pulling Over Mayor

A motorist with a flashing red light -- but no police authority -- was arrested after allegedly pulling over the wrong fellow driver: Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover.

Police say they believe the suspect was using the in-dash red light to maneuver through traffic Monday night. Glover says he pulled over when the man came up behind him. He says the man sped away after seeing who he had stopped.

Glover says he followed the car and called police, who later booked 21-year-old Daniel Niederhelman of Shreveport with "false impersonation of a peace officer."

Police seized the emergency light and a handgun from Niederhelman's holster. Sgt. Dan Houghton said the man works for a private security company, but wasn't authorized to use the emergency light.
