Put down that Transformer and back away slowly:
He started decorating his 2007 Ford Mustang last summer to look like the police cruiser in the “Transformers” movie because his 7-year-old son, Thomas, was fond of the film.
“My intent was to re-create the movie car,” said Vigil, a 35-year-old disabled veteran from the war in Iraq. “When I came back from Iraq, I tried to spoil him. I wasn’t the best dad before.”
He said he called the district attorney’s office beforehand and spoke to Chief Deputy District Attorney Joe Ulibarri, who tried to discourage his decorating scheme but couldn’t find anything in the law that would stop Vigil as long as he didn’t impersonate an officer.
