A Wisconsin man, Steven Daniel Eggert – 24 years old, is facing a pile of criminal charges for allegedly setting a dead man’s house on fire and stealing his firearms, is now facing stolen valor charges.<\/p>\n

I say ‘allegedly’ but Eggert was quoted in several articles telling reporters that he set the fire.<\/p>\n

WAUPACA (WLUK) \u2013 A man who allegedly set a dead man\u2019s home on fire, rather than reporting his death to the authorities, was charged Wednesday for allegedly trying to hire another jail inmate to kill a witness in the arson case. And, Steven Eggert was also charged for allegedly lying about serving in the military.<\/p>\n

Eggert was originally charged with arson, mutilating a corpse, burglary, and other counts in connection with the April 27 fire in the town of Harrison.<\/p>\n

After the fire, two people called police, saying they talked with Eggert about the man\u2019s death before the fire. Eggert says he showed up at the victim\u2019s house and found him dead. They told him to call police. Instead, worried police wouldn\u2019t believe he wasn\u2019t involved in the death, Eggert allegedly set the house on fire and stole several firearms from the house.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then…<\/p>\n

The complaint also includes a count of \u2018false statement regarding military service,\u2019 which alleges Eggert \u201cdid knowingly and with the intent to receive a tangible benefit falsely claim that he was a service member in the military.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the witnesses told police she was afraid of Eggert because of Eggert\u2019s claims he had served with Special Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, and had been shot in the chest while in the service. Waupaca County District Attorney Veronica Isherwood told Fox 11 investigators confirmed with the military Eggert had not served.<\/p>\n

If convicted of the \u2018stolen valor\u2019 charge, as it is sometimes called, could result in nine months in jail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEggert told Witness 1 that he lit the fire to cover his tracks. Witness 1 told Eggert that if he did that, he was an idiot and Eggert screwed himself. Eggert told Witness 1 that when he started the fire \u201cit made look natural.\u201d Eggert stated that \u201cit\u2019s fine\u201d and he didn\u2019t use an accelerant or anything. Eggert stated that he was in Special Forces and they taught him how to not get caught.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I guess if you’re going to start a fire you may as well rely on your non-existent Special Forces training and do it how you imagine you’ve been taught.<\/p>\n

Some of you may remember that course. I think it was called “How to Properly Set Fire to a Dead Guy’s House Before Making Off with his Stash of Firearms… and Not Get Caught.<\/em>”\u00a0 That one.<\/p>\n

It’s all coming back to you now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
