44-year-old Matthew Allen Disbro was arrested on charges of impersonating a police officer outside of Phoenix last Wednesday.

The armed security guard had equipped his Dodge Charger with "law enforcement style" police lights and sirens, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety AZDPS .

Disbro allegedly attempted to pull over two state troopers who were on patrol in an unmarked Ford Mustang. When they refused, they said he pulled up alongside to yell and wave at them.

When state troopers Nick Westbrook and Jesse Stradling ran Disbro’s plates, they found his vehicle belonged to a private citizen and not a public agency.
