LAWRENCE, Ind. — A paramedic said he was pulled over by a man posing as a police officer in Lawrence last night.

Sean T. Abbott, 25, Indianapolis, told police he was driving his pick-up truck near 46th and Street and Shadeland Avenue when a car began following closely behind him.

Abbott told Lawrence police officers that the car looked like the kind police departments use — a 2000 white Ford Crown Victoria — and it would come close to his bumper and then back away.
