Brashears, 18, in the area after the caller to police provided a description.<\/p>\n<p>Police determined Brashears was not affiliated with the Wounded Warriors Project and had been claiming to be a wounded U.S. Marine and combat veteran, Chambers said.<\/p>\n<p>Chambers said Brashears had received $70 in cash donations and another donation in the form of a check.<\/p>\n<p>Brashears originally was from Mississippi but recently was arrested in California, Chambers said.<\/p>\n<p>Brashears was arrested in Redmond on two counts of third-degree theft by deception and one count of third-degree attempted theft by deception. He was taken to the Deschutes County Jail and booked, then later released on his own recognizance, a jail officer said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course he was only exercising his freedom of speech, because he&#8217;s in the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit.
