Former soldier admits to posing as Army sergeant
From: Military Times
TOLEDO, Ohio — An Ohio man previously discharged from the military for possessing child pornography has pleaded guilty to posing as an Army sergeant during Toledo's water crisis last year.
Twenty-seven-year-old Richard Newberry of Toledo pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday.
Prosecutors say Newberry identified himself as an Army sergeant, wore a camouflage uniform and handed out bottled water in Toledo last August when algae-induced toxins from Lake Erie contaminated the drinking water for 400,000 people in parts of Ohio and Michigan.
The Blade newspaper reports Newberry was convicted in 2011 of possessing child pornography, leading to his discharge from the Army.
He pleaded guilty to false personation of an officer, dealing in firearms without a license, possessing a firearm despite his felony conviction and failing to register as a sex offender.
