NORTH EAST, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man has pleaded guilty to faking his military record, and to cashing more than $188,000 in counterfeit checks at a federal credit union.
Dale Farr, 33, will be sentenced Nov. 25 by a federal judge in Erie.
Farr has pleaded guilty to claiming to be an Army captain who was wounded in Afghanistan in 2001. He claimed he was awarded the Purple Heart, Silver Star and two Bronze Stars. Federal prosecutors say Farr was a private discharged for misconduct in 1995.
Farr faked his military record to get a Purple Heart license plate and to qualify for a Veteran’s Day sale discount on a car.
