Charges filed against phony Colorado war hero
By Dan Lamothe – Staff writer
Posted : Friday Oct 2, 2009 13:31:42 EDTU.S. authorities have charged an admitted military faker exposed by Colorado veterans this spring for lying about being a Marine captain who served three tours in Iraq, being wounded in combat and surviving the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon.
Jeffrey Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Colorado, confirmed Friday morning that charges had been filed against Richard Glen Strandlof, 32, but said he did not immediately know what they were. The actions come nearly five months after the FBI arrested him May 13 on an outstanding warrant after questioning him about his purported past, which he later admitted concocting.
Wonder what changed from last week when they were bagging the case…..(rhetorical question)
