The driver was arrested early Wednesday and taken to the Allen County lockup after he parked his H3 Hummer in a restricted area behind the Fort Wayne state police post, authorities said.
Two dispatchers working the midnight shift watched the Hummer on surveillance cameras, at first thinking the driver might be an excise officer or someone working undercover. But then he helped a woman out of the Hummer and the pair began walking around the building.
When one of the dispatchers opened the post's back door to ask whether he needed any help, the man responded that they were just walking to the post's front door to "get a room."
