Howdy Folks!
Some guys shouldn't even leave the house.
This is one of them.

According to reports, he is alleged to have impersonated a police officer, tried to conduct a traffic stop,
used the fire chief lighting system in his car to pull over another driver, had marijuana in his car, was driving
under the influence of alcohol and had a gun in the bargain. He has a plethora of charges to answer later
this month in Boulder county court!

Among the charges he'll face are:
Impersonating a Peace Officer, Driving While Intoxicated, and Illegal use of a Weapon.
A rather full day for a volunteer fire chief from a really small Colorado town!

Some folks get into fire/rescue for the adrenaline rush. When there are no fires they look for some way to get the juices flowing. Guess he figured that committing arson (most usual dumb stunt by fire service adrenaline junkies) would not be a Good Thing (TM) for a FD chief, so he picked door #2 instead.
