DENVER – A man is facing a felony charge after he allegedly flashed lights and blew a siren at another vehicle on Interstate 25 earlier this month.
Ryan Heger was arrested on August 6 after the incident. According to an arrest affidavit, police found a police-style radio, emergency lights and a siren in his Jeep.
According to the arrest affidavit, Heger told investigators he likes "to mess around on the road and warn bad drivers by flashing his lights and using the siren."
9NEWS spoke to Heger Wednesday. He denied the allegations and said he had no other comment.
The man who police say Heger tried to pull over said he knew the vehicle wasn't a police officer. He described the vehicle as an older model green Jeep Cherokee with a lift kit. A vehicle matching that description was featured on Heger's Facebook page.
"He came up on the side of me and kept his sirens going and ended up swerving at me as if he was trying to force me off the road," the man said. He asked 9NEWS not to reveal his name.
If convicted, Heger could face 18 months in prison. He was released from jail on a $2,000 bond. His next court date is September 25.
