From Washington State<\/a> comes the story of Darryl Lee Wright who scammed the US government out of more than a $1\/4 million for a phony injury from a time when he was in Iraq with the Idaho National Guard. <\/p>\n

Apparently, he heard a boom once in Iraq and parlayed that into a CAB and a Purple Heart and then when he got home he started hitting the government up for some free money claiming that he had trouble walking, couldn’t tie his own shoes and lost interest in stuff, you know, even though he’s the chairman of the planning commission in Snoqualmie, a former City Council candidate, a high school basketball coach and a rec league basketball player. His sister is also charged with receiving payments as his caregiver.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors alleged that the scheme dated to 2005, when there was a small explosion about 100 yards from where Wright and other soldiers were standing. Days later, Wright requested that he be awarded a “combat action badge,” though he noted in his written account that there was no damage or casualties from the blast.<\/p>\n

Over the next several months he continued to press for the badge – changing the story to say that he had come under enemy rocket attack, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

“Darryl Lee Wright falsely stated that he was ‘violently thrown and knocked unconscious from the percussion of the rockets’ impact,'” the indictment said.<\/p>\n

In supporting documentation, Wright submitted a picture of a destroyed military vehicle with a handwritten note saying it was his – even though the vehicle had nothing to do with the event in question, the indictment said.<\/p>\n

The Army eventually did award the combat action badge and, in 2011 gave him a Purple Heart at his request, signifying that he had been wounded by an enemy in combat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So he used that badge and the Purple Heart to start milking the system. Do I need to mention how he damaged the reputation of the CAB with this story? Actually, they should have locked him up just based on his name – there’s like a million mugshots of people named Darryl Lee Wright in the search engines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
