It’s the story of the staties versus the fakie.

A Massachusetts State Police trooper pulled over a white Ford Crown Victoria — the standard police cruiser model for many years — driven by Byron J. Boisseau, 43, of Revere, along the 500-block of Ocean Avenue in Revere at around 8 p.m. Sunday.

Other drivers had reported to police that the vehicle was flashing amber light and pulling other vehicles off the road, which in turn had the MSP issue a “Be on the Look Out,” or BOLO, alert for the car.

Boisseau was arraigned on charges including impersonating a police officer, carrying a dangerous weapon and possession of burglarious tools in Chelsea District Court Thursday. He was released under standard conditions and will return to court in September, according to the clerk’s office.

Police describe the Crown Vic as being white with no identifying markings, other than a push-bar bumper, but its occupant allegedly had a bunch of police-style trimmings. An MSP statement says that Boisseau had a black hat emblazoned with “SECURITY” sitting on top of the back seat, facing the rear window.

The driver himself allegedly wore a police-style utility belt equipped with an expandable baton, a loaded BB gun that resembled a Glock, a can of pepper spray as well as a mace gun, black handcuffs, a folding knife, an alcohol breathalyzer test kit, and a pair of black rubber gloves. Inside the vehicle, authorities allege, was a bulletproof vest, a security badge in a chain holder, and an aluminum holder similar to ones police use to hold and fill out citation forms.

But police say that Boisseau wanted to play the part of both cop and robber.

Police say that they also found a black balaclava-style ski mask and bolt cutters, in both small and large variety.
