A Texas man was arrested after he was caught impersonating a police officer, even using fake emergency lights.

He was arrested after a concerned citizen called 911 and reported a suspicious blue pickup truck trying to pull him over with emergency lights, according to Fox News.

The Texas man was identified as 42-year-old Luciano Amador Velazquez. Deputies from Parker Country Sheriff's Office responded to the concerned citizen's report and found that the man was from Weatherford, which was around 50 miles west of Dallas.

The Texas man told authorities from Parker County Sheriff's Office that he used the blue and red emergency lights mounted on his dashboard to "make people drive better."

The Parker County Sheriff's Office said the victim reported that Velazquez was flashing emergency lights inside the truck.

Velazquez was also reported to have attempted to cut the other driver off the roadway and block the vehicle from leaving the area.

Texas Man Impersonating as Police Officer

Velasquez was charged with the felony of impersonation of a public servant.

Parker County Sheriff Russ Authier said they received the report at around 9 p.m. with a suspicious blue Dodge pickup with emergency lights on the truck's dashboard, as reported by NBC News.

The victim told police that Velazquez was following him closely.

Authier noted that the victim did the right thing by immediately reporting the incident to law enforcement.

Velazquez is currently held in the Parker County Jail for the charges against him.

It was not immediately clear if the Texas man impersonating a police officer had obtained an attorney for his case.

He is also being held on a $15,000 bond, according to jail documents.

Dallas police reported an increase in people impersonating officers, referring to three incidents that occurred from January 14 to February 3.

Impersonating Police Officers Case

In Florida, a Naples resident was the victim of a phone call scheme prompting her to reveal personal information.

Naples Police Department noted that the man reported receiving a call from someone claiming to be the Naples Chief of Police.

The impersonating police chief claimed that he was contacting the resident due to a purchase he had made for an illegal drug.

The suspect went on to say that he was working with the federal government, adding that he would send police officers to his home and arrest him on a warrant if he refused to comply.

The resident was then asked to make a statement confirming his willingness to continue the investigation after the caller read the resident's credit card number.

The police department found that the resident was also asked to include his Social Security number in the statement he made.

The man ended the call and dialed the Naples Police Department.

A person convicted of impersonating a police officer could spend two years in jail while facing a penalty as high as $2,000, as cited by Bail Bonds Raleigh.
