Toasty Coastie sends us this story from some law enforcement officers she knows in Largo, Florida. Some names have been redacted;<\/p>\n

Officers XXXX, XXXX and XXXX respond to Wild Willies where a “gentleman” was in Full US ARMY active duty ACU’s soliciting funds for the local Military Museum and Wounded Warrior Program. He even gets a small amount of funds from some of the bar patrons. Unfortunately for him, one customer (a vet) is suspicious and questions him on his service and he runs. Officers find him on XXXX where an investigation about soliciting reveals he does not have permits to solicit or even a military ID. The uniform of the “2nd Lieutenant Dimarco” does not match the NY state Dept of Corrections inmate card on him showing him as Johnathan Fuentes. Fuentes is the subject of a previous report by Officer XXXX, he has multiple social numbers, altered enlistment papers and a VA card in the name of Fuentes. He states he is an Infantryman but doesn’t have a Combat Infantry Man’s Badge on, but a Combat Action Badge (not given to Infantry), along with his parachutist’s badge. The stories finally crumble and he admits to getting funds by using the uniform, ( he spent the money on packs of cigarettes already). While speaking to 3 veterans he states he does not want to get in any more trouble, (a little late). I have the pleasure of informing him that “his” uniform is evidence and we will be removing it now and put him in a bio hazard gown for his transport to jail. The subject is charged with 817.312 Unlawful use of uniforms, medals or insignia a third degree felony. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
