'KIT-OFF COP PULLED CAR'.

A STRIPPER who dresses as a policeman posed as a real officer and got two motorists to pull over, a court heard.

Stuart Kennedy, 27, is accused of using a "white or blue" strobe light to make drivers think he was a police officer.

James Buchan, 21, told how he was driving in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, with girlfriend Hannah Innes, when Kennedy signalled for him to pull over.

Mr Buchan told Peterhead sheriff court: "There was a crisp white or blue light and it was in the middle of his windscreen. I thought it was a police car pulling me over.

"I looked in my rearview mirror and he pointed at me to pull me over."

Mr Buchan said he stopped his car and Kennedy pulled up behind him in his red Peugeot.

He added: "He leaned over to the side of his car, picked up a mic and spoke into the mic. I still thought he was a policeman." The couple, who said the man was wearing a black jacket and possibly tie and a white shirt, added that his car eventually drove past them.

ACCUSED Kennedy James reported the incident, on June 28 last year, to the police. Later that night he spotted the car, with the light still on the windscreen, outside a hotel in Peterhead, where Kennedy was performing.

Kennedy, who calls himself Sergeant Eros, denies two breaches of the road traffic act and two charges of impersonating a police officer. The trial continues.
