Stolen Valor: Gun Store Robber Tried to Get Off Easy by Claiming Purple Hearts<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Convicted felon Marcos Guzman tried to get on the good side of probation officers in upstate New York with a bogus tale of combat heroics that he claimed had earned him two Purple Heart medals.<\/p>\n

The feds saw through the ruse: The Purple Heart certificates and photographs turned out to be fakes, and now Guzman faces more jail time.<\/p>\n

Guzman, 36, pleaded guilty July 2 before U.S. District Court Judge Elizabeth Wolford in Rochester, New York, to “making fraudulent representations about the receipt of military medals.”<\/p>\n

He faces the possibility of one year in jail and a $100,000 fine when he is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 12, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Western District of New York.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
