Michael Allen Bradshaw<\/a> has been telling people in the Duluth, GA area that he’s a wounded Iraq veteran and abandoned by the Army and the Veterans Affairs Department to solicit funds to support his wife and child. You can tell by the mug shot that’s not true. He also ripped off the local VFW for a few hundred bucks until they finally checked on him and discovered that he was dishonorably discharged in May 2001 – before he could have had a chance to serve in Iraq.<\/p>\n

He told an emotional story about being a U.S. Army veteran who was wounded in Iraq when he and his Sergeant drove over a roadside bomb.<\/p>\n

Bradshaw claimed he’d just been released from a VA hospital in Texas and that he, his wife and 13-month-old daughter were in need of money.<\/p>\n

After being shown what appeared to be some convincing paperwork, Dain gave Bradshaw $100 in cash he had planned to use to buy his own child some clothes. He also gave him a $100 Kroger gift card. His church reimbursed him for all $200. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He was also in Roswell, GA last year<\/a> working the same scam there;<\/p>\n

According to investigators, Bradshaw received $350 from VFW Post 7583 after claiming to be a non-commissioned Army officer who was wounded in Iraq. Bradshaw also submitted fraudulent documents to the post, including an application for admittance to the VFW and an affidavit requesting money for a Purple Heart.<\/p>\n

Roswell police said the VFW manager became suspicious and ordered Bradshaw’s military records, which revealed that he was discharged from the Army for misconduct in 2001. He never actually served in Iraq and wasn’t wounded in combat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Someone is asking for a serious curb-stomping. Apparently, he’s still on the loose and anyone who knows his whereabouts is urged to contact the Duluth police at 770-476-4151. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
