REDLANDS, Calif. — Authorities are searching for a man who is suspected of impersonating a police officer and pulling over a school bus last week, CBS Los Angeles reports.

Police also said that the man had an identification card affixed to his shirt with the word "Investigator" in red letters, according to CBS Los Angeles.
