An upstate New Yorker bearing an uncanny resemblance to Brian Laundrie had a rude awakening when US Marshals on the hunt for the fugitive pulled their guns on him during a nap on the Appalachian Trail.

Ithaca couple Severin Beckwith and Anna Brettmann were catching a few winks at the Lodge at Fontana Village Resort after lunch when they heard a knock and their door flew open, the New Yorker reported.

“Next thing I see is a bunch of guys with riot shields with ‘US Marshals’ written on them, handguns pointed at my face,” Beckwith told the mag.

The stunned hiker was promptly handcuffed as one of the feds helped Brettmann get dressed.

Feds can't do anything right/

“Next thing I see is a bunch of guys with riot shields with ‘US Marshals’ written on them, handguns pointed at my face,”

When all they had to do was knock. Too bad the VICTIMS didn't have guns.

A—hole cops raised on TV versions of “crime fighting.” Can’t even get the right guy. Just ask Richard Jewell. Or Stephen Hatfield.

Sweet..a SWAT team for a guy wanted for credit card fraud. Lucky he wasn’t shot. Probably took them half a day to figure out they had the wrong man.

Also this...Following the marshals’ advice, Beckwith shaved his beard –

Like I said before many guys in his age group look like Laundrie.

“Following the marshals’ advice, Beckwith shaved his beard – but he quickly regretted it “because I have much less of a chin than Laundrie does.”

He should be following his attnys advise, not the Marshall.. These Marshalls screwed up.

This will not be the 1st botched false ID and attempted apprehension by the federal yahoos and or some other Mayberry type clowns.. Soon some innocent will be daed

PS: If alive Laundrie dont look like that no-mo

Following the marshals’ advice, Beckwith shaved his beard

And after helping his girlfriend, Miss Brettmann, get dressed, they also recommended that she shave her - ahem.

I know a million guys who look like that. The Fed’s are grasping at straws.

To be honest, this guy really doesn’t look a lot like Laundrie.

Officer Barney Fife, reached for comment, said “Well he looked just like him!”

Bingo! They’re just trying to stay relevant at this point.

[MercyFlush]

Gear queers looking for any excuse to do a violent raid on anyone. High fives and back slaps all around.

I know I feel safer.

Not.

[EEGator]

He’s white and has a face…

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Watch out balding white men with facial hair!

They’re coming for you!

.....Too bad the VICTIMS didn't have guns.

Actually in this case that might be what saved their lives what with LEO's being so trigger happy with all the cops getting shot these days.

The Feds should be focused solely on his parents. They know exactly where he is, and are probably helping him. The reason I believe they know is because they're not freaking out at all, or saying anything. Innocent, concerned parents would be all over the news, asking either for their son to turn himself in or help finding him (because they're worried sick about his well-being or location).

Their trip to meet with their attorney in Orlando (I think) was particularly weird -- IIRC, they spent an hour or so at a public library before meeting with him. Strange thing to do, in my book.
