Stolen valor leads to arrest<\/a><\/h3>\n

By KIM MOODY Staff Writer | Mar 24, 2023<\/p>\n

SEBRING \u2014 Zacharias Christian Reeves, 47, of Sebring is facing multiple counts of fraud charges, both felony and misdemeanors. Reeves\u2019 arrest stems from an investigation beginning on Feb. 14 because of complaints regarding stolen valor. The complaint came from the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Florida via a retired veteran.<\/p>\n

According to the HCSO arrest report, the witness stated Reeves, a veteran, possessed Purple Heart license plates he was not entitled to. The witness provided a DD-214, or military discharge papers. The witness also provided copies he felt were forgeries. In addition, the witness included pictures of the defendant with medals that he alleged were not earned, as well as those he did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like a concerned citizen gathered all the necessary paperwork and turned authorities on to Reeves.<\/p>\n

Why would he do this you may ask? Well, it seems Mr. Reeves once worked as a VA claims representative so this may have given him some insight into going down this road.<\/p>\n
