Seymour First Selectman's Son Charged with Impersonating Officer

     SEYMOUR, Conn. (AP) _ The chairman of Seymour's Republican Town Committee faces charges of impersonating a police officer after police say he used a blue light on his car to try and stop another driver.
     Police say 44-year-old Brian Koskelowski was charged with criminal impersonation, reckless driving and use of unauthorized colored lights. He was arrested at his home following the incident Wednesday and is due in court July 13.
     Police say the volunteer fireman, who is son of Seymour First Selectman Robert Koskelowski, flashed the blue light as a vehicle sped past him while driving in the breakdown lane. Koskelowski says he was only trying to alert the other driver to his presence.
     In 2008, Koskelowski paid a fine after pulling over a car in Seymour.
