It would be hard to take him seriously -- and you might find yourself smiling as he drives away, and you're holding you $125 speeding ticket. But bah -- somehow you'll feel like part of a sitcom, or history... or something you can't entirely explain. Officer Poncharello just gave you a ticket and now you've got a kick ass story. Yeah, there was a price to pay, but you've got his autograph on your ticket and that bitch is going in a frame.

Yes, the rumors are true. Erik Estrada is back in Muncie this week for training to keep up the reserve police officer status he earned as part of the canceled reality show "Armed & Famous."

"When I make a commitment to be somewhere, it's done, like gold," told Muncie's The Star Press in an interview Monday. "And I'll be here next year too, and the year after that.

"And I hope, 30 or 40 years from now, God willing, that when it's time to put me in my grave, I'll go in my Muncie uniform and badge," he said.

After filming for "Armed & Famous" wrapped, Estrada had earned deputy status with the sheriff's department in Virginia's Bedford County.
