Joel Clay Lack, 22, resides in the Tulsa County jail on charges of impersonating a fire fighter, interfering with emergency personnel and two counts of grand larceny.
According to officials, Lack posed as an off duty fire fighter after an accident where an SUV hit a group of cyclists.
He flashed a badge at the scene, claiming to have had medical experience, authorities said.

On one point, this is shocking that a man actually impersonated a fire fighter for no given reason. On another, I am surprised I haven't heard about something like this happening before. People these days are weird and crazy. He could have made the situation ten times worse by improperly treating someone, and what's worse is that people truly believed he was what he said he was. Accidents are scary enough as it is, we don't need fake paramedics out there making it even worse.
