The man who filmed a Massachusetts State Trooper sleeping in his cruiser on the side of the highway has told MassLive he was pulled over by a state trooper just moments after filming the video.

Nick Ford of Marlborough said he was pulled over by a state trooper roughly three minutes after he confronted the trooper who appeared to be sleeping in his cruiser.

The trooper who pulled him over informed Ford he was pulled over for using an electronic device.

Ford asked the trooper to request a supervisor so he could report both the trooper who appeared to be sleeping and the trooper that pulled him over.

Ford called the number back and it was a direct line to the Massachusetts State Police, he said.

According to Ford, the lieutenant told him he was investigating the trooper who was filmed sleeping on the behalf of Internal Affairs.

A video of the encounter titled, “My friend Nick catches Massachusetts State Trooper sleeping on the job” was uploaded by user “Shaun Church” on Nov., 21. »
