We busted Robert Guidi in December, 2015<\/a> where he had everyone in his hometown thinking he had been a special forces soldier and a POW in Vietnam. He had convinced a local sporting shop to make him a special bow and a decking company to build him a $30,000 deck based his tales of derring-do. It turns out that he’s been swindling people for years<\/a>. So this past March, he pleaded guilty<\/a> to a couple counts of fraud and a count of New Jersey’s new stolen valor law.<\/p>\n

Well, now, he has told the judge that he has a drug problem, so he should go to drug court. He takes drugs because, as a mail clerk in Vietnam, he caught the Agent Orange, so he became addicted to pain killers. According to the Daily Record<\/a>, he’s been arrested 45 times since he returned from Vietnam and not once for substance abuse.<\/p>\n

Guidi did not attend Friday’s hearing and currently is living in a home for homeless veterans, though he has a residence in Mine Hill. <\/p>\n

On Friday, Superior Court Judge Paul Armstrong told Ware he wants a fresh evaluation by the Drug Court team of Guidi’s suitability, as well as documentation of his substance abuse history and medical prognosis and diagnosis. <\/p>\n

Armstrong said he was not prejudging the case but opined that it was strange that Guidi has been arrested 45 times in his life but never for a drug crime. Ware said that Guidi legitimately served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War but the judge and Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Michael Rappa noted that his service was as a mail clerk.<\/p>\n

The judge set a new hearing date of July 24 at which he plans to review fresh, updated documentation about Guidi’s medical and substance abuse history and whether the Drug Court team still believes he is eligible for admission. At that hearing, Armstrong said, he won’t sentence Guidi but will decide how to move forward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guidi and his lawyer are just kicking the can down the road. If the judge figures out that Guidi is lying about his drug problem, it won’t go well for him during sentencing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
