A man with convictions for impersonating law enforcement is accused of doing it again, flashing realistic police lights while carrying a loaded pistol and allegedly trying to ram a family in a minivan on a highway in Ohio.

Dennis Meade, 52, faces one count of impersonating an officer, a first-degree misdemeanor, online court records show.

The case came to light on Saturday at 5:40 p.m. on a highway in Miamisburg, south of Dayton. The suspect, driving a white Chevrolet Tahoe, allegedly tried to pull over a couple in a minivan with two toddlers in the back seat.
