He also admitted that he violated his probation for prior convictions for prohibited offensive weapons and theft by deception.<\/p>\n<p>President Judge Paul Yatron sentenced Sperow to 21 months to five years in prison followed by three years of probation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When police went to Sperow&#8217;s apartment, they found uniforms and phony documentation for his pretend military service.<\/p>\n<p>We applaud the judge, but also the detectives and prosecutor who did the actual hard work when they suspected Sperow was a liar.
