MIAMI, Fla. (WTXF/FOX NEWS) - A man who said he has impersonated law enforcement officers in the past accidentally pulled over a real one on Interstate 95 in Miami, FOX affiliate WSVN reported.

They say Friday morning on I-95, Marcos Pacheco-Bustamante activated a siren on his Ford Crown Victoria and pulled over a seemingly random car.

Alton Martin said Pacheco-Bustamante pulled him over just after 7am -- but Martin happened to be a Miami-Dade police officer. He'd been working all night and was wearing his full uniform and driving an unmarked cruiser at the time.

WSVN reports a BB gun replica was found in Pacheco-Bustamante's car and a police blue light was found resting between the driver seat and center console.
