The local news, WMDT<\/a>, in Quantico, Maryland is covering the Jason Scaletta\/Jason Grey arrest;<\/p>\n

47 ABC talked with Scaletta Thursday before his arrest. He said the Secretary of the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs would be coming down to Quantico Friday to hold a formal press conference to unveil Scaletta’s military records. However, that did not happen.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The documents also reveal Scaletta has past felony convictions for theft and obtaining money under false pretenses back in 2008. Jerry Black, the director of Veterans Support Centers of America tells 47 ABC he was blindsided by this information and thought of Scaletta like a son.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Different military advocacy groups found on the internet have been questioning Scaletta’s validity. According to Black, Scaletta doesn’t hold any of the awards he claimed to have. <\/p>\n

Scaletta reportedly claimed to have those awards when he asked for sponsorships for the V.S.C.O.A PAWS assistance dogs training program for veterans. Black tells us the entire Organization is heart broken by this discovery. He says they’re working with law enforcement on this investigation and hope Scaletta is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, VSCOA was blindsided by the charges, but only because they ignored what we’ve been trying to tell them for the past four months. I wouldn’t feel sorry for them at this point – I also wouldn’t give them a dime. If George Mutter didn’t bother to tell them about our investigation, they should fire his ass, too.<\/p>\n

Scaletta is being held without bond at the Wicomico County Detention Center. Court records show he is not scheduled to appear in court until May.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good, at least we know where he’ll be. <\/p>\n

We got a look at Scaletta’s NGB-22, the National Guard version of the DD214. The discharge was “uncharacterized” and the reason for his discharge was “Failure to report to IADT Phase I or II” meaning the he never completed Basic Combat Training and his Advanced Individual Training. In other words, he collected a pay check from the Maryland National Guard for four years and seven months and never did a thing to earn the uniform, which, I guess, is why he figured that he could just slap on some medals and badges that he hadn’t earned.<\/p>\n
