Today's Idiot
 People's Republic of BOULDER, Colo. Authorities say a man's scheme to breeze through traffic by mounting flashing red and blue lights on his truck could put him on a fast track to prison. The Boulder County Sheriff's office says 21-year-old Justin Davis was jailed this week after a slow-moving tow truck pulled over when the driver saw him using the lights. Sheriff's Cmdr. Phil West says the tow-truck driver became suspicious and followed Davis. West says Davis left his Nissan truck at a shopping center when he saw he was being followed and called police from a gas station to report his vehicle stolen.
West says Davis told police he recently bought the lights to get through traffic. Davis is free on $1,500 bail but faces a charge of impersonating a police officer, punishable by up to three years in prison.
It's fun until you get caught.
