<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nA couple of weeks ago, someone told us about how this James Michael Waldby dude had scammed a motorcycle club in the Midwest out of a couple of hundred bucks by claiming to be a veteran and they wanted us to check on him. This is the DD214 that he showed them;<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nPretty high sped, huh? Yeah, first off, I see where his DD214 says that he was in 3\/75th, but they’re not at Fort Stewart, they’re on the other side of Georgia at Benning. I don’t know what an “infantry specialist” is, but I know it’s not an 11B30. Two Distinguished Service Crosses and two Silver Stars and 4 Purple Hearts would make him famous in our community. No jump school, though, no Ranger Tab. He really didn’t know what he was doing when he forged this thing.<\/p>\n
So, here’s what his FOIA looks like;<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThirteen whole months stationed in Hawai’i, discharged as a private which explains why he didn’t know what to include in his forged DD214. Scamming the motorcycle club wasn’t the first time he’d done that, either. Back in 2009, he tried the same thing with a church group back home<\/a>;<\/p>\n Police say James Michael Waldby, 43, of Hendersonville, NC, told local church officials that he had just \u201cflown in from Heathrow\u201d and needed money for gasoline to get to Ft. Bragg, NC. A local church gave him a voucher good for $10 worth of gas from a convenience store.<\/p>\n When Waldby, decided to try his luck at another church, the clerk became suspicious and used an online search to determine that Waldby was actually a fugitive from North Carolina. She called the police.<\/p>\n When officers found him at Presto\u2019s convenience store, Waldby told them he\u2019d been staying with an aunt and uncle in Pendergrass, but could not tell police their names, address or telephone number.<\/p>\n He also had $103 in cash at the time he was arrested.<\/p>\n Police charged Waldby with theft by deception and driving with a suspended license, but the Jackson County Jail refused to take Waldby in because he claimed to have and untreatable staph infection.<\/p>\n The police then took him to the Flying J travel plaza on Maysville Road and released him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The motorcycle club that contacted us said they made a police report, too, but the prosecutor wasn’t willing to chase him down and prosecute him for a few hundred bucks. They tell me that he’s headed to Iowa now – probably pulling the same shit. And everyone lets him get away with it. Well, until he gets killed by someone who doesn’t think his scam is so victimless as some local prosecutor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
