(Update 2 at the bottom.)

A man who said he worked on the set of locally filmed TV show Army Wives was arrested early Saturday morning for allegedly impersonating a police officer.

32-year-old Jason T. Stoddard had been driving a prop look-alike unmarked police car when he used the police-like lights to stop a woman driving a car on James Island near 4 a.m. 

That woman then sped off after realizing Stoddard was not a police officer. 

Live 5 News offers a mugshot and short report, while The Post and Courier offers more expanded reporting.

Update 1, February 5: With the weekend over, Stoddard has been released from jail and he told ABC News 4 that the whole incident was a misunderstanding.

Stoddard says that the woman he stopped was a friend who didn't recognize him at the time. Stoddard also says that he's in no way associated with the show Army Wives.

Update 2, February 6: Despite Stoddard's insistence that him and the woman he stopped were friends, she continues to tell police investigators that she does not know Stoddard.
