CINCINNATI - 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.
In February 2003, Baer told his supervisors in Hamilton County that he had been called to duty with the Army Reserve. He was released for medical reasons after two months but continued to cash supplemental paychecks from the county until December 2004, prosecutors said.
The county paid Baer the difference between his Army pay and what he was making as a corrections officer
Heh, sort of like Kerry?

Hey it's just Tax Money, no different than giving a Seatbelt or Speeding Ticket. Hell MADD gets a better cut than that.
He is a product of his environment, hope they prosecute and he spills his guts!
Funny where the Money trail takes you every time, and funnier yet they are always innocent (Government).
