\nKelsi Hoover POSing as Soldier Now Wanted for ID Theft<\/p>\n

Look familiar? Jonn posted about this Hoover\/Cipriani person last year:<\/p>\n

Hoover was arrested in Oregon last year and extradited to Nevada for trial. The people over at Guardian of Valor did a lot of the work on the case initially. Back then, FBI agent Jerry Mullen said that civilians often put on a uniform to get a free drink or to impress others. The FBI takes other cases, like receiving military discounts and defrauding military benefits programs, much more seriously. \u201cThe notion\u201d said Mullen \u201cthat this is somehow a victimless crime is absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n

We couldn’t agree more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She’s been busy since then. One of our ninjas reports-<\/p>\n

Woman charged with posing as male soldier in 2015 now wanted for ID theft in Fort Worth<\/h3>\n

By Jack Howland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelsie Denise Hoover, 28, abruptly left her job at KPS Global on Nov. 1, informing her bosses at the Fort Worth business she had to move to San Antonio due to medical issues.<\/p>\n

But, it turns out, there was a lot she didn\u2019t tell them, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Hoover had been working at the business under a different name, assuming the identity of her friend\u2019s female family member, according to Fort Worth Officer Buddy Calzada, a police spokesman.<\/p>\n

When Hoover applied at KPS Global, they didn\u2019t know she was carrying falsified identification and had changed her appearance to match the picture, Calzada said. They didn\u2019t know she was lying about her life. They certainly didn\u2019t know she was on the run from police.<\/p>\n

Hoover, a former Baylor University student, gained national attention in 2015 when she was the first person to be arrested under the Stolen Valor Act of 2013<\/a>. She was caught pretending to be a male soldier who had been awarded a Purple Heart, donning a camouflage military uniform and wearing her hair short.<\/p>\n

Hoover was found guilty on fraud charges out of Nevada and was facing up to a 20-year prison sentence, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when, Calzada said, she disappeared and didn\u2019t show up for her sentencing date. And she eventually wound up in Fort Worth with a new female identity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One has to wonder why she wasn’t considered a flight risk, and held until her court date. Aw, well. Hindsight and all that. The entire article may be viewed here: Star Telegram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
