Matlock\u2019s name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is always the disappointing part of these cases for me:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tucker was credited for time served and his 46-month sentence was suspended.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Time served? It was not enough time or he would still be locked up.\u00a0 Claiming a Silver Star and a Purple Heart is low.\u00a0 Claiming to be a POW is the lowest of the low.\u00a0 But,\u00a0 I have faith that William Travis Tucker will just continue to be himself and end up getting that suspended sentence activated again&#8230; or worse.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stolen Valor Suspect Sentenced | April 11, 2023 | News 19 at 4 p.m.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D56w5bkbHfA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><template data-arve_cachetime=\"2026-01-13T03:52:55-05:00\" data-arve_iframe_src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D56w5bkbHfA?feature=oembed\" data-arve_url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/D56w5bkbHfA\" data-author_name=\"WHNT News 19\" data-author_url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Whntnews19huntsville\" data-height=\"281\" data-provider=\"youtube\" data-provider_name=\"YouTube\" data-provider_url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" data-thumbnail_height=\"360\" data-thumbnail_url=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/D56w5bkbHfA\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-thumbnail_width=\"480\" data-title=\"Stolen Valor Suspect Sentenced | April 11, 2023 | News 19 at 4 p.m.\" data-type=\"video\" data-version=\"1.0\" data-width=\"500\" class=\"arve-data\"><\/template><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have posted about William Travis Tucker before.\u00a0 \u00a0He has finally been sentenced to 12 months &hellip; <a title=\"William Tucker Sentenced for Stolen Valor\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=139898\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">William Tucker Sentenced for Stolen Valor<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":654,"featured_media":109343,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,336,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers","category-pow","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/654"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=139898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/109343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=139898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=139898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=139898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
