Gabrielle Beutler has been in the news a lot lately – initially based on accepting the post as Commander of Lavonia Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 5897.<\/p>\n

She accepted the post a few short months ago in June 2022.\u00a0 It wasn’t long before the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) arrested her and charged her with forgery, as well as misrepresenting her veteran status to get the appointment.<\/p>\n

GBI Makes Arrest in Forgery Investigation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

AUGUST 17, 2022<\/p>\n

Lavonia, GA (August 16, 2022) \u2013<\/em>\u00a0The GBI has arrested and charged Gabrielle Beutler, age 31, of Bowersville, GA, with one count of forgery, two counts of distributing false IDs, and two counts of misrepresentation of veteran status.On August 11, 2022, the Lavonia Police Department asked the GBI to investigate suspected criminal misconduct of Beutler, who was employed as the Post Commander at the VFW Post 5897 in Lavonia, GA. The investigation revealed that Beutler represented herself as a veteran and altered a U.S. Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty form and presented it the VFW for association and promotion. She also used false identification documents to obtain Purple Heart license plates for her vehicles. Beutler was arrested at the Lavonia VFW without incident.<\/p>\n

This investigation is active and ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the GBI Athens Field Office at (706) 552-2309.\u00a0\u00a0Anonymous tips can also be submitted by calling 1-800-597-TIPS (8477), online at\u00a0https:\/\/gbi.georgia.gov\/submit-tips-online<\/a>, or by downloading the See Something, Send Something mobile app. Once the investigation is complete, the case file will be given to Northern Judicial Circuit District Attorney\u2019s Office for prosecution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It would be ironic if she were sent to prison, put on license plate detail, and had to make Purple Heart specialty plates.<\/p>\n

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.\u00a0 She has the trial and if found guilty, the sentencing to go through.\u00a0 It could be a slap on the wrist should there be a plea bargain.\u00a0 They will most likely pursue fraud charges vs. stolen valor.\u00a0 You know what we’re doing here.<\/p>\n
