Army veteran Brian Culp of San Antonio, who pleaded guilty to falsely claiming to be a highly decorated U.S. Army Ranger, was sentenced Tuesday to nine months in jail.
U.S. Magistrate Judge John Primomo revoked the supervised release of Culp, 41, after he failed to follow instructions from probation officers.
Culp was sentenced in 2009 to three years of probation for three misdemeanor charges of falsely claiming to be the recipient of a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star and creating a fake identification card that gave him access to area military bases.
He also falsely claimed he was wounded while part of the 1993 Army Ranger rescue mission in Somalia made famous by the book and movie “Black Hawk Down.” He was called out by a real Ranger.
