A motorist who drove along Route 400 with a flashing red light on the dashboard of his car was arrested on multiple charges, Erie County sheriff’s deputies reported this morning.
A citizen reported seeing the southbound vehicle in the Town of Aurora late Wednesday afternoon. The driver was said to be activating a red light to urge drivers ahead of him to move over.
Deputy James Flowers caught up with the vehicle in the Town of Sardinia. Its driver, David L. Muraco, 46, of Freedom, reportedly claimed that he was in a hurry to get home.
Muraco had brass knuckles and a small amount of marijuana, deputies said. The brass knuckles and red light were seized as evidence.
Muraco was charged with misdemeanor counts of criminal impersonation and criminal possession of a weapon and a violation charge of unlawful possession of marijuana. He also was cited for illegally displaying a red light on his vehicle.
He was being held in the county Holding Center pending arraignment in the Towns of Aurora and Sardinia.
