GUILDERLAND — Police arrested a Queens man on Sunday for stalking, after a woman reported he was following her car.

Georgio Shinas, 20, of 50-32 Thirty-first Ave., 3-D, Woodside, N.Y., told police that he was trying to get the woman to pull over.

At 5 a.m. on Sunday, as the woman was driving to work on Western Avenue, she noticed a man in a red Pontiac following her, Detective John Tashjian told The Enterprise.
A patrol car stopped the Pontiac and found that Shinas, its driver, had an "imitation handgun" near the driver’s seat, Tashjian said. He had two more weapons — pellet pistols made to look like handguns — in his car, Tashjian said.
"He said he wanted to see if she’d pull over," Tashjian told The Enterprise. "He’d act like a cop."
Asked why, Tashjian said, "Who knows what his motives were""

Shinas was not wearing a uniform and police say the woman did not know him.

He was arrested for fourth-degree stalking and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both misdemeanors. He was then remanded to Albany County’s jail without bail.
