Last month Jonathon Turley the GWU law professor said that if the Stolen Valor Act stands up to judicial scrutiny, it would criminalize bar pick up lines. Well, here’s a test case for him<\/a>;<\/p>\n

A Sterling Heights man police said illegally wore a U.S. Marine uniform in a downtown nightclub and falsely told police he just returned from Iraq pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor Thursday.<\/p>\n

De Hieu Tran, 41, pleaded guilty at a pre-trial hearing in Ferndale 43rd District Court to charges of wearing a uniform when not in service and driving on a suspended license, according to court records.<\/p>\n

He faces up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine on the uniform charge and is scheduled to be sentenced in Ferndale District Court at 1 p.m. April 8.<\/p>\n

Ferndale police said they spotted Tran at the Boogie Fever nightclub about 11:30 p.m. May 22, 2009 wearing a camouflage Marine uniform.<\/p>\n

“He stated he had just returned from his fourth tour of duty in Iraq a couple of hours earlier,” said Ferndale police Sgt. Patrick Jones. “He had captain’s bars on the collars of the uniform. The officer questioned him and determined he was impersonating an officer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s the fastest way to get arrested – wear a camouflage uniform to a place called Boogie Nights. That doesn’t stand out at all. <\/p>\n
