A police report said the 20-year-old intern was drunk early Friday morning when he approached three men. The man allegedly flashed his police intern badge, claimed he was an undercover detective, pantomimed a gun with his thumb and index finger and ordered the men to the ground.
Police said he talked into his cell phone saying he needed backup.
Authorities said he eventually let the men leave, saying they were lucky.
Police arrested the man on tentative charges of impersonating a police officer, disorderly conduct and underage drinking.
The police report notes, "It is anticipated his internship will be ending."
