Very drunk man sets up fake DUI checkpoint for himself, is promptly arrested

Did he also put on his own handcuffs and become his own prison bitch?

Usually when you're an inebriated man or lady illegally operating a vehicle, you do your best to avoid roadside DUI checkpoints. Take side streets. Pull over and sleep it off. Press the 'eject' button and catapult yourself into the atmosphere or … something.

But … every now and then, a man's moral compass overwhelms him, and he feels he must right his wrongs and dole punishment for drunk driving on behalf of the law. So he sets up a fully-functional DUI checkpoint complete with roadside flares, and pretends to be a Pennsylvania state trooper so he can keep the city safe.

Such is the saga of 19-year-old Logan Shaulis, who actual police say parked his vehicle diagonally across state Route 601 and set up road flares at about 4 a.m. Saturday. Once he was good and situated, he pulled himself over to make sure he wasn't driving drunk … then he took to flagging down other drivers at random to see if there was an illegal amount of booze in their Subaru-operating bods. A driver who was stopped by Shaulis says he claimed he was a trooper and demanded to see a driver's license, registration and insurance papers. Well, at least he was official.

When real troopers arrived, police say Shaulis tried to hand a BB pistol to the car's passenger and said, "I can't get caught with this." Ha!

Wow, dude … pretty sure alcohol doesn't make you that fucked up but … Pennsylvania amiright?

He faces charges including drunken driving, impersonating a public servant and unlawful restraint, but we're pretty sure since he's in the business of putting himself in jail, he already knows that.
