A federal judge in Atlanta has arraigned a man on charges of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon after he performed a traffic stop on an off-duty Doraville police officer while allegedly masquerading as a DEA agent in what the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia called a “deeply unsettling” event.

Daniel Harbison, 40, of Dunwoody, was arraigned Friday after a federal grand jury in Atlanta indicted him on April 23. The grand jury handed down the indictment after Harbison conducted a traffic stop of a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban on April 3, using flashing lights he had attached to his vehicle, federal prosecutors said. Harbison did not know that the Suburban’s driver was an off-duty police corporal with the Doraville Police Department, prosecutors said.
