San Mateo, California, police arrested a Kentucky man early one morning for a suspected hit-and-run incident, CBS News reported.

Frank Falcone, 62, told officers that he was driving northbound on Pacific Boulevard when a southbound car came toward him with its high beams on.

The lights disturbed Falcone "because of the brightness and potential radiation," he said, so he rammed the other car.

When it stopped, he allegedly rammed it two more times.

Falcone fled the scene and told officers he evaded them because people impersonate cops.

He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
