\"Totally<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

We couldn’t identify this fellow when we posted his picture a few months back, but he was obviously a phony. But the two Marine recruiters who encountered him at the Erie County Fair in upstate New York on Veterans Appreciation Day had the presence of mind to snap his photo and turned it over to NY Trooper Michael J. Niezgoda, a decorated, wounded Marine veteran of the Iraq War, according to Stars & Stripes<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The investigation also discovered that Schrenk had served in the Armed Forces, though not in the Marines. \u201cIronically, he served with honor in the United States Navy,\u201d Niezgoda said.<\/p>\n

Assisted by West Seneca police in executing the search warrant on Wednesday, state troopers recovered numerous items from Schrenk\u2019s home, bolstering the case that he misrepresented himself, Barnas said.<\/p>\n

In addition to the impersonation charges, Schrenk also was charged with unlawfully wearing a military uniform and unlawfully displaying a military rank \u2013 both prohibited under New York State Military Law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the article, Schrenk has also posed as a Federal LEO on occasion. He’s scheduled to appear in court this morning to answer to the charges. The goofy-looking shit.<\/p>\n

ADDED: A mugshot for posterity;<\/p>\n
