A Prospect man was arrested, accused of impersonating a police officer and pulling over a real officer.

Brandon Hurley, 24, was arraigned Wednesday morning.


Police said on Saturday night, Hurley pulled up behind an off-duty Louisville Metro Police Department officer on Hurstbourne Parkway and started flashing his lights and honking his horn.

"The officer passed the defendant, the defendant then did a U-turn in the road and got behind affiant's vehicle. That's some bad, that's just some bad luck there," Judge Sean Delahanty said.



Thinking that Hurley needed help, the LMPD officer pulled over.

Hurley walked up to the officer's vehicle as if he was pulling the car over. Hurley asked the officer if he knew he'd hit a curb and asked if he knew how fast he was going.

The officer asked Hurley for which department he worked.

Hurley identified himself as a Jefferson County officer, but said he didn't have his badge.

The off-duty officer identified himself as a police officer and Hurley seemed confused because the officer was driving his personal vehicle, according to an arrest warrant.

When pressed for his badge number, Hurley quickly drove off in the wrong direction, officials said.

The officer wrote down Hurley's license plate number as he drove away, the report said.

"Officer believed he recognized defendant from high school, which is another bad break," Delahanty said.



In court on Wednesday morning, the judge said the two did go to the same high school.

Hurley is charged with impersonating an officer and second-degree wanton endangerment.

Delahanty released Hurley on his own recognizance and told him to appear in court on Nov. 21. The judge also told Hurley to turn his flashing lights over to the court.
