We talked about this guy just a few days ago<\/a> when he was arrested on stolen valor (among other) charges in Colbert County, Alabama. His tall tales include a Silver Star, a Purple Heart, and having spent time as a prisoner of war.<\/p>\n

ninja sends an update. When his time came to enter a plea, he went with a not guilty plea and was released on $8,000 bail\/bond. He was then arrested on similar charges by Lauderdale County. They have some video of him making his wild claims while he solicits money here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Shoals man is out of jail after being charged again with stolen valor after authorities say he lied about being a prisoner of war.<\/p>\n

William Travis Tucker’s newest arrest comes in Lauderdale County where he is charged with forgery, theft, stolen valor, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Deputies searched his home Thursday.<\/p>\n

Tucker got out on a $10,000 bond at about noon Friday. WAAY 31 spoke with the investigator in the Lauderdale County case and uncovered video of Tucker giving a speech about being a prisoner of war.<\/p>\n

The video was given to WAAY 31 by a source and shows Tucker in May 2019 at Spring Park in Tuscumbia giving a speech to a group of people about being a prisoner of war. He starts off shaking the hands of fellow veterans and says ‘let me tell you a story about a soldier I knew.’<\/p>\n

“He was captured in Pakistan on March 10 in 2002, strapped naked to a chair for 72 hours and sexually molested by three men,” said Tucker in the video.<\/p>\n

Tucker pauses appearing to get choked up.<\/p>\n

“I was able to escape with all means necessary,” said Tucker in the video.<\/p>\n

He then prompts the group to buy raffle tickets to benefit Wounded Warriors. It’s unclear if they ever saw a dime from Tucker. It’s that same lie that now has Tucker in more hot water, according to law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n

“He presented a forged document to the Lauderdale County License Commission office to get a POW tag that he was not even eligible for. By doing this, he defrauded the government of tax money,” said Lauderdale County Investigator, Matt Burbank.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
