CINCINNATI (AP) - A former sheriff's deputy lied about being deployed to war and improperly collected $21,000 in supplemental pay.

Brian Baer pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of theft in office. He has repaid about $10,000 and plans to pay back the rest, said his lawyer, Richard Goldberg.

Baer faces up to 18 months in jail at his sentencing June 9.

1. I thought you were supposed to fake going to war

So you could get laid before you "left"?

I guess times have changed.

2. Send him to the slammer.

Then his hometown can put out a yellow ribbon for him until he gets outs.

4. LOL! What color magnetic ribbon goes on the car

to "Support Our Fake Troops"? :D

11. Yellow, of course, to match the color of the stripe down

Dubya's back.

3. Well it is a fake war based on...

fake evidence. Might as well fake going to fight in it too.

5. Story says he was a corrections officer...is that a prison guard?

So he already knows his way around the jail. Now he can learn what its like to be on the other side of the fence, to walk around in the shoes of a prisoner instead of the guard.

9. Yep, Corrections Officers are jailers or prison guards.

12. Divine justice would dictate he spend time

doing community service at a veteran's rehab facility.

6. I wish the blivet had faked it instead. nt

7. Oh, it's for *money*...

I was expecting him to do this to try to get girls. I'm already seeing big fat slobs who've obviously never been through any kind of physical training, much less the military's, running around with their new 'high and tight' haircuts to try to look military...

8. I smell a medal of freedom coming this guy's way

:eyes:

10. LOL! He comes closer to deserving one than many of the traitors

so honored by Reagan, Bush I and Bush*.

[kodi]

13. they should have offered him a choice, jail or enlistment

poetic justice, don't you think?

14. Does he know the "Glitter Cop" down in Flori-DUH?

The sherrif's deputy who's claiming that somebody gave him a shot of cosmetic glitter instead of pain-killer when he was in for some surgery?

I think that guy's working a scam, too. C'mon, if you're gonna scam a hospital, at LEAST use something that you would normally find in the place!

15. I guess people "steal" or "embezzle"

But cops get to "improperly collect"
