<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nRyan sends us a link to Sun-Sentinel<\/a> which reports that Simon Emilio Zablah, the fellow who we discussed recently<\/a> when he was arrested a few weeks ago for pretending to be a former soldier and a Federal law enforcement agent pleaded guilty in court the other day;<\/p>\n “Guilty, Your Honor,” Zablah replied three times in response to each charge.<\/p>\n The maximum punishment for the offenses is 16 years in federal prison, but the prosecution and defense have agreed to recommend Zablah serve a year and a day in prison and receive mental health treatment.<\/p>\n Senior U.S. District Judge Daniel T.K. Hurley will make the final decision when he sentences Zablah early next year.<\/p>\n Zablah’s lawyer Assistant Federal Public Defender Neison Marks declined to comment Thursday, but he previously said in court that Zablah has suffered from emotional and psychological problems for years and knows he needs counseling and mental health treatment.<\/p>\n Zablah admitted he pretended he was a U.S. Special Ops sergeant to get out of a $205 speeding ticket in April in Hollywood. The officer who stopped him gave him a written warning instead of a ticket because he showed the officer a fake military card.<\/p>\n He also admitted he lied and claimed he was a U.S. Army Reserve officer in April 2013 to help get him a job as a call representative with a Plantation uniform supply company in 2013.<\/p>\n “ln fact, l was a soldier in the United States Army from January 13, 2005 through January 25, 2005, at which time I deserted \u2026 l received no awards or medals from the United States Army. I have never been in any way associated with United States Special Operations, the United States Army Reserve or any other branch of the United States military. I have also never been employed as or otherwise associated with any type of law enforcement, state or federal,” according to the written plea agreement Zablah signed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He’s been doing this for years. He stole a credit card number and bought nearly $4k with it. This is the uniform he strutted around in;<\/p>\n He’s been accused of domestic violence. He went to “work” everyday as a phony federal agent. Who knows how many crimes he committed as a pretend LEO, but, hey, he has a mental problem, so let’s just lock him up for a year and handle him with kid gloves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Zablah\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zablah.jpg\")
