He outfitted his Bentley with sirens and LED lights. He wasn’t a police officer, cops say
Cops get a lot of perks. Having a high-end luxury car as their state vehicle is definitely not one of them.
Christopher Duluk was charged with a third-degree felony after an investigation revealed the 30-year-old operated his Bentley as if it were a police car, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say they received reports of a silver, 2009 Bentley Continental driving “in a reckless manner,” “utilizing a police siren and lights to maneuver around traffic” and intimidating other motorists. The vehicle’s yellow State of Florida license plate was also equipped with LED police-style lights.
Duluk had also used his sirens in an attempt to conduct a traffic stop but sped off when the driver pulled over.
Deputies eventually obtained a search warrant for Duluk’s Fort Myers residence, where they discovered several items such as police-style antennas mounted on the vehicle and a speed measurement device .
Duluk was arrested and charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer, deputies say. Law enforcement officials also seized his Bentley.
A review of Duluk’s driving record yielded several traffic infractions, two of which were for speeding, since 2015. Court records also show he picked up another speeding ticket Thursday.
