Man accused of using fake police lights to beat traffic • Turlock man, 34, charged The Patterson Police Department confiscated the grill of a truck that had illegal emergency responder flashing lights attached to it as evidence. A Turlock man’s attempt to get around traffic by pretending to be law enforcement came to an ironic end when he encountered real law enforcement in the traffic line. The suspect, Brian Hoar, 34, of Turlock, was arrested on suspicion of impersonating a peace officer and reckless driving. The incident began around 4 p.m. Monday in a long traffic line at W. Main Street and Carpenter Road southwest of Ceres.
