Someone sent us this story from the Chicago Tribune<\/a> about Vicenzo Lamontagna, a small town cop in Illinois who lied about his military service to get the job and has found himself out on the street;<\/p>\n

Vicenzo Lamontagna, 30, who is an officer in Johnsburg, allegedly lied on job applications when he said he was honorably discharged at the rank of sergeant from the U.S. Army, according to a spokeswoman for the Illinois Attorney General’s office, which is handling the case.<\/p>\n

Lamontagna was discharged less than honorably in lieu of a court-martial, said the spokeswoman, Maura Possley.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Northwest Herald<\/a> says that he’s going to get quite an education on the court side of the judicial system;<\/p>\n

Vicenzo LaMontagna, 30, was indicted by a Cook County grand jury on 16 counts of forgery, three counts of mail fraud and three counts of wire fraud, all Class 3 felonies, according to a spokeswoman for the Illinois Attorney General\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

LaMontagna submitted falsified documents to the Johnsburg Police Department as well as departments in Glenview and Darien and the Illinois State Police for hiring purposes, spokeswoman Maura Possley said.<\/p>\n

The documents inaccurately say LaMontagna was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army, that he held the rank of sergeant when discharged, and that he had received combat-related medals, she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess the lesson is; don’t lie to cops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
