PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBS12) — A 38-year-old Port St. Lucie man is facing multiple criminal counts after police say he pretended to be a law enforcement officer while driving drunk and pulling over another vehicle.

According to the Port St. Lucie Police Department, the arrest happened on January 13 after a 911 caller reported that a white Cadillac had been following them and activated flashing lights, prompting the driver to pull over near SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard and SW Aster Avenue. The caller told dispatchers the man behind the wheel claimed he was an off-duty police officer.

When officers arrived, they said they found the Cadillac positioned behind another vehicle with white strobe lights flashing inside the car. Investigators say the driver, identified as Daniel Beyzer, was not an officer and had displayed a badge while approaching the occupants of the other vehicle.

Police say Beyzer showed signs of impairment, prompting a DUI investigation. Officers conducted field sobriety exercises and administered a breath test, which showed a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit.
