Valor Vulture Sean Murphy seems to be having more problems these days.\u00a0 \u00a0We have posted about him in the past here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Before the criminal charges were issued this week, the Swampscott fundraising had already caused problems for Murphy. It was used as evidence last week in Bristol Superior Court that he violated his probation \u2013 he was still on probation for the Attleboro heist. Murphy agreed \u2013 essentially pleading guilty to probation violations \u2013 and he was sent back to prison for 18 months.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, a Lynn District Court clerk magistrate found probable cause to issue a new criminal complaint charging Sean D. Murphy with violating the state\u2019s stolen valor law by dressing in camouflage and collecting donations outside a Whole Foods in Swampscott in 2021.<\/p>\n Swampscott police filed an application for charges under the stolen valor act shortly after they received their report, but for a number of reasons, a clerk magistrate\u2019s \u201cshow cause\u201d hearing was repeatedly postponed.<\/p>\n The law bars individuals from obtaining money, property or any other tangible benefit by posing as an active duty member or veteran of the military, by wearing military regalia, gear or uniforms or by using falsified military identification. A violation carries up to one year in jail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I guess he can’t catch a break and “The Man” is just out to get him.\u00a0 \u00a0As a veteran who could be put out on the street by a heartless former Soviet at any moment… I can probably do without Murph trying to help me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/murphy-204x300.jpg\")
