A man pretending to be a cop in a road rage incident was arrested by police Wednesday.

Brian Pilling, of Roswell, faces an impersonating an officer charge after he allegedly tried to force a woman out of his way on the road, according to a police report.

Pilling was tailgating the victim when he pulled to the side of her and yelled expletives, police said.

“While they were exchanging words and going down the street, (Pilling) said (he was) a police officer and flashed some type of badge,” Roswell police Officer Lisa Holland told Channel 2 Action News.

Holland said the woman was able to let Pilling merge in front of her and get his license plate.

Pilling remains in the Fulton County jail.
