A Georgia man was arrested for impersonating a police officer after displaying a badge to real police officers and attempting to arrest them.

Shawn Brown was seen walking in the middle of the road last week and disrupting traffic, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

When Marietta Police officers approached him and tried to speak with him, he pulled out a metal badge with the words “Special Police” displayed on it and told the officers they were under arrest for assaulting an officer.
