SCRANTON, Pa. -- A northeastern Pennsylvania man is accused of attacking a Secret Service agent with brass knuckles and a chunk of asphalt.

Scranton Police Police Chief David Elliott says Agent William Slavoski tapped his siren Tuesday evening when a pickup truck that had been moving erratically on an expressway stopped in front of him. Police say the pickup driver got out and approached the agent, asking, "What are you, some kind of cop?" Police say Slavoski identified himself as a Secret Service agent and told the man to return to his truck, but an altercation ensued.

Police arrested 25-year-old Kenneth Kile of Kingston, who was arraigned Wednesday and held in lieu of $20,000 bail. Slavoski is recovering at home from injuries to his face, head and left arm. Kile was treated for a lip laceration.

Wow, the guy that attacked the SS agent lives walking distance away from me. Where does the SS agent get the authority to pull this guy over anyway?

Wow I grew up a few miles from Kingston. Sounds like there is more to this story.

"Where does the SS agent get the authority to pull this guy over anyway?"

Good question. Next time the citizen involved may decide to get an answer by using perfectly legal tools like Citizen's Arrest and a waterboard.

The agent might want a lawyer, but too bad, the Supreme Court just said that you don't need one to be present at an interrogation.
