In a link sent to us by Chip, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsherald.com\/news\/crime-public-safety\/man-gets-five-years-in-prison-for-wounded-warrior-scam-1.161470\">News Herald <\/a>reports that Wood got five years for his trouble.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> He began collecting money in February 2012 for an event called \u201cTour De Beach,\u201d which he promoted as a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project. State prosecutors accounted for $13,000 Wood received, but believe the total amount was closer to $20,000. On the \u201cTour De Beach\u201d Facebook page, which is still active, Wood claimed to have collected about $37,000 from the event.<\/p>\n<p>When sponsors tried asking Wood how much money was raised, they received no response. Sponsors then contacted the Wounded Warrior Project, and the group reported Wood made no donations. Wood told police in October that he\u2019d been living off the donations, and had spent most of the money on social events and alcohol. He also admitted \u201cTour De Beach\u201d was a scam from the beginning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nice.
