On Dec. 6, Floyd County deputies said, Terry Jason Rogers, turned on his bumper lights and made the witness believe he was getting pulled over. The witness called 911.

Two days later, Rogers committed the crime again, by activating his amber lights when stopping for a bus and the vehicle was passing, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies said Rogers turned on the rear backlight bar and back alternating tail lights and headlights trying to get the vehicle to stop.
