A woman was driving on I-70 near a rest area last March when a red Charger came up behind her and activated red and clear visor lights and what sounded like an air horn, according to the probable cause affidavit.
The woman did not feel safe stopping and eventually pulled into a neighborhood where she said Weathersbe showed a badge and shouted “I am a (expletive) cop and I have a camera that recorded everything,” according to court documents.
The female driver called Monrovia Police who responded and located the red Charger at Weathersbe’s Monrovia home.
When police asked to see Weathersbe’s badge, the suspect showed it to officers, and said it was issued by the state of Pennsylvania for being a bounty hunter.
