Alerted by investigators from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General that Wolfe never served in the U.S. Air Force, as he has claimed, ADOT detectives started an investigation and determined that the form was forged. <\/p>\n<p>Wolfe used the same forged military document to apply for two specialty license plates designated for veterans, one for his vehicle in March and one for a newly purchased motorcycle about two months later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dude looks to be a border-line midget, I guess he figured he&#8217;d not get caught if he said he was Air Force it would be more believable than one of the other services.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=66231\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-66231\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Eric-Wolfe2.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Wolfe2\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Eric-Wolfe2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Eric-Wolfe2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Eric-Wolfe2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Eric-Wolfe2-444x333.jpg 444w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Eric-Wolfe2-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The Arizona DOT wants to talk to you if you made donations to Wolfe, there&#8217;s contact information at the link.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDED:<\/strong> From <a href=\"http:\/\/abc13.com\/news\/dog-handler-accused-of-faking-veteran-status\/1378040\/\">ABC13<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Wolfe claimed he had suffered from PTSD himself after a deployment to Afghanistan as a canine bomb handler.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dogs and PTSD &#8211; like no one thought of that before.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/ktar.com\/story\/1109426\/arizona-man-arrested-for-posing-as-a-military-veteran\/\">KTAR<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Earl Fisher with ADOT said Wolfe used the paperwork of a veteran to forge his own copy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe took this (form), belonging to another veteran, and placed his own name and Social Security number on it,\u201d Fisher said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rachel sends us a link to the story of Eric Wolfe out in Arizona who has &hellip; <a title=\"Eric Wolfe; phony veteran\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=66229\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Eric Wolfe; phony veteran<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":66230,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,391],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phony-soldiers","category-valorvultures"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/66230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
