A Perry Township man faces charges once again of impersonating a police officer.
This time authorities say the man stopped a professional wrestler who was driving on Interstate 77 earlier this month.
Jesse Johnson, 18, of Lincoln Way East, surrendered to deputies after learning that a warrant had been issued for the stopping of WWE pro wrestler David Bautista near the northbound Belden Village exit following a wrestling show in Canton.
Bautista drove off and phoned 911 to report the incident.
Information including description of the ''officer'' led to the warrant being filed, according to sheriff's Sgt. Terry Curry.
Johnson pleaded not guilty Thursday before Canton Municipal Judge Stephen Belden. A pretrial hearing is set for Tuesday.
Last August, Johnson pleaded no contest and was found guilty of impersonating an officer. He was given 180 days in jail with all but one day suspended. The one day was credited for time served.
The sentence included the condition that Johnson remain on good behavior for two years.
