After years of pretending to be a Navy SEAL and a member of law enforcement, a Rhode Island felon is facing multiple years in California and Rhode Island prisons after finally slipping up because of expired vehicle tags.
William Burley pleaded not guilty to charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and in possession of ammunition on Wednesday in Morongo Superior Court. Just the previous week in the same court, Burley, a Yucaipa resident, pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, a prohibited person in possession of ammunition and receiving stolen property.
Due to special allegations of having a prior strike against him, Burley could be facing four years in a California prison before being sent back to Rhode Island to face imprisonment there

Burley had been able to avoid detection for nearly eight years

Didn’t the SC say it was okay to be a phony SEAL?
I used to be a seal, took forever to get the bark down never mind dealing with the fish breath.
but seriously, glad this guy is off the streets
Was it Jesse Ventura?
I gave up when they started with the horns.
I sure hope someone keeps these assholes on a "list" somewhere when the cw2 balloon goes up!

So when three workers from a charity were kidnapped in Somalia this scumbucket bilked them for $50,000 claiming he could get the hostages out.
I think rather than waste our tax money keeping this guy locked up the obvious solution is to do what he promised and drop him in Somalia; and I don’t mean in the nice area.
But it’s perfectly legal, right?
Every deployed location I've ever been to has plenty of lawns and privacy fences for great picture poses.
He’s missing the new “Atari Pilot” award that Panetta cooked up.
Guy sure looks like a Pinniped but, he ain’t no SEAL....
his beard is weird
his ‘stache is trash
There’s a nice area in Somalia?

” Theres a nice area in Somalia? “
It’s kind of relative. The northern autonomous parts, Somaliland and Puntland, are probably safer than Chicago for what it’s worth. At least the north side of Chicago.
Most dangerous place I ever served.
Somebody had to do it!
Ah, Subic Bay. I see my first wife in that picture. What’s she doing with my brother, I wonder?
