Lafayette Keaton has been wandering around Portland, Oregon telling students and adults alike about his imaginary career in the Army. In his mind, he served in three wars, he was a Ranger and SF operator, Silver Star awardee…oh the list goes on. In truth, his military careerspanned four years and included no wars and Fort Benning can’t find a record of him attending Ranger School.<\/p>\n
Keaton has just been indicted on voter and Social Security fraud, accused of stealing the identity of his dead son and dead brother.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n
In 1960 he was convicted of endangering a child. In 1972 he was convicted of kidnapping a toddler he fathered, but he got that conviction expunged.<\/p>\n
In the 1980s, he was sent to prison for taking thousands of dollars from the state for creating a fictitious foster home. Up until that time he worked as a juvenile parole officer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The phonies are always guilty of something else.<\/p>\n
