A Central Florida motocross champion whose website calls him "the Tiger Woods of supercross" was arrested Monday on a charge of impersonating a police officer, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

James "Bubba" Stewart Jr., 25, was driving a 2008 Toyota Tundra pickup northbound on State Road 417 at 4:50 p.m. when he tried to stop another vehicle using red and blue police-type lights, troopers said.

Unfortunately for Stewart, the vehicle contained two off-duty highway-patrol troopers, who suspected that the pickup was not an undercover police truck.

Makes no sense, whatsoever. The kid has (had?) a bright future and to throw it all away, for what?

It takes years to build a reputation, but only seconds to destroy it.

One thing is for certain.

He can never be accused of impersonating an idiot as he already is one.
