A Florida man wearing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers football jersey and driving a truck with red and blue flashing lights was arrested after allegedly trying to pull people over.
A Tampa, Florida man was arrested on Sunday after allegedly attempting to pull vehicles over with his pickup truck outfitted with red and blue flashing lights, and while wearing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey, according to authorities. The driver is identified as 62-year-old Earl Mitchell Cesario has been charged with false impersonation of officials in Sumter County.
At about 11 a.m., the trooper spotted and stopped a red pickup truck, operated by Cesario, on the northbound side of I-75 near Bushnell. Police spoke with Cesario, who allegedly admitted to being in possession of red and blue lights that were on his dashboard before being pulled over. But the lights, he told troopers, were never activated.
During the investigation, troopers spoke to a male witness who said he was heading north on I-75 when a red GMC Sierra came up from behind and started flashing red and blue lights. The witness told troopers he believed the red truck may have been an undercover law enforcement vehicle, describing how the driver of the truck motioned for him to pull over before speeding off. When the trooper conducted a search on Cesario’s pickup truck, red and blue lights were found.
When plugged into two electrical sockets in the vehicle, the lights turned on. The trooper noted that both electrical sockets, which are commonly used for push-in cigarette lighters, already had their covers removed before conducting the test on the lights. Cesario was then arrested and transported to the Sumter County Jail.
