Phony SEAL Burley arrested…again
You probably remember William Burley, the shirtless phony SEAL who poses for warrior pictures in Mom’s yard and pretends to be a State cop when he’s stalking someone and confronted by the state police. Well, Chip sends us a link to his latest series of escapades, namely repeated busts for weapons crimes;
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, authorities said.
“He is an interesting character and he has some interesting stories, that’s for sure,” said Deputy District Attorney Lisa Muscari.
Burley had been able to avoid detection for nearly eight years, according to investigators. But a vigilant sheriff’s deputy helped bring down Burley’s carefully crafted claims in early February.
“The important thing was getting him off the streets,” said San Bernardino County probation Supervisor Carl Landry.
Oh, there’s much more, and a mention of our buddy, Don Shipley;
In 2012, Shipley said in a phone interview, he received a call from a representative of a humanitarian organization working in Somalia. Shipley said the caller, who wished not to be identified, told him Burley came to the group when three of its employees were taken hostage.
“He told them that with his training as a Navy SEAL, he would be able to go over there and rescue their people,” Shipley said.
You might remember that his lawyer tried to get us to remove the post about him because Burley was trying to turn his life around – that was in December. I guess because we didn’t take the post down, he slid further into the morass that was his life;
Burley’s strange tale began to come to light in February when he was stopped by the sheriff’s deputy in the Morongo area, Lawyer said. “When the deputy walked up to the vehicle, Burley pulled out a badge and identified himself as a federal agent.”
Burley reportedly told the deputy he was with the Department of Homeland Security. Suspicious, the deputy called his sergeant, who went to the scene, said Lawyer. Burley repeated his claim to the sergeant and said there were weapons in his vehicle, she said.
Investigators found several firearms, body armor and law enforcement badges in the vehicle, said Probation Department spokesman Chris Condon.
If this guy wasn’t getting his hands on weapons, you know being a convicted felon and all, he’d be a laugh riot.
I think he’s just trying to earn a top seed in our stolen valor tournament.

He’s definitely in the top-tier now. I’m sure getting arrested is good for bonus points.
It’s a late-season surge. At this point he’s just padding his stats and prepping for a deep tournament run.
@2 “deep tournament run”= Super ass pounding in jail.
@2: I have to disagree with you on this. He saw how tough the competition was going to be this year and what we are seeing here is a last minute rally. He’s showing more motivation now than he did in his Naval career.
SEAL, LEO,… Now he’s going “WEEEEEEEE, WEEEEEEEE,WEEEEEEEE…..” With either Bubba or some Outlaw “1%er” Biker type named “Thor”!
*BLEEEEEP!* JAILBIRD idiot now, HAHAHAHAHA………..
Extra turd.
Possible showdown with “Punk” Lewis in the ungreat eight.
Also, I would like to respectfully request the inclusion of “Ranger” Burrell in this year’s tourney.
I am a little baised here, but figured I would ask.
Earn a top seed? Shit, just give him the trophy now.
Cock-Inhaler Sharkey ain’t got shit on this douchenozzle.
So to him ,does time in prison = POW time?
Well, if he doesn’t own the top rank in the Stolen Valor Tournament, he certainly should get dishonorable mention. And he definitely qualifies in the non-lethal Darwin Awards for his performance with badge in front of the cops.
Loser.
TAH should have an annual, “Stolen Valor” awards ceremony
every year too highlight these shitbirds!
@#8, JP: *BING!* BULLSEYE! Here’s your cigar!
If I ever decided to become a shit bag and pose as something I’m not, I know the first thing I would do is attempt to scam the person I’m pretending to be.
I want to find his recruiter and bitch-slap the guy into next week. I don’t care what the CR and Zone Sup said. I don’t care if it was the 28th of the month and you were about to miss goal for the third month in a row.
We didn’t need this shit.
@8. No more EM crap for him. He finally gets his bars. Bahdabing.
All I could think of when I saw the name of the location, Morongo, was the great quote from Blazing Saddles, “Mongo merely pawn in game of life.”
That, and a cross between “Mongo” and “moron”. Of which Burley fits both. At the same time.
Anyone who has a picture of himself with his head smaller than his hands, and who gets arrested after he tells a real cop that he’s a Fed, deserves not only time in a pound-me-in-the-ass prison cell, but also top tier in this year’s Phonies & Phakers Toruney.
He does his mommy (not) proud.
Turd reminds me of Brian Culp.
Two pieces of loose stool in the same bowl.
This should be “Monday’s Feel Good Story”. Comments here are hysterical.
The Ass’t DA said, “He is an interesting character and he has some interesting stories, that’s for sure.” I’d like to pique her brain and see what kind of outlandish stories he told them.
I’m sure he’ll claim he was interrogated and waterboarded before becoming a POW due to his last run-in with the law.
Woodman–Yucaipa is in what locals refer to as “The 909,” which is a very UN-desirable area code for SoCal. Think desert, bangers, and meth labs every other house.
The running joke there is at the city limits of most of the towns in Riverside and San Bernardino counties should be signs that say, “If you lived here, you’d be sad!”
“If you lived here, you would not want to be home now.”
“If you lived HERE, you would want to live THERE.”
Hey, Fast Freddie, oddsmaker extraordinaire and line setter for the tourney, has buster brown here at 1-9. We need to some competition for him or it’s a walkover.
Yeah, phony douches can get away with posing and screaming that he’s a combat/secretsquirrel/SEALSFRANGERPJ, and nobody gives a hoot because of First Amendment rights, but as soon as he poses as a LEO, then the Feds/Cops/DA lands on him like a ton a’ bricks…I sense something not exactly right here…
Whiskey Bravo: don’t think so, amigo. According to the Darwin Awards rules I read some time back, the only way a living individual can receive a Darwin Award is to render themselves “incapable of procreation”. Ugliness and stupidity alone don’t qualify.
#19 lol NHS I think that goes along the lines of Hemet/all Riverside as well. I remember we had a guy running around trying to represent the “909”, told him I felt bad for the reservist at March AFB.
Usually isolated places like that, reminded me of Idaho…nothing but Meth Labs out there in Mountain Home and outer Boise area. Literally nothing to do. So our boy here got bored and decided to play Federal Agent.
2/17 Air Cav: aye, but he’ll be wearin’ stripes with those bars. Won’t that make him an Off/EM combo?
The Fat Lady hasn’t sung. Soup is coming up with something that will rocket himself to the bottom.
It looks like Kenneth Crocheron is going to have some competition after all.
#26: Sorry, in my book, colonel cockroach is in a league all by his lonesome worthless self…
Pleading guilty for gun crimes? He’ll walk. California release more dangerous criminals like that because they are broke and refuse to build prisons.
This dick wad needs to do a shitload of time. Put him in a deep, dark hole where he’ll get plenty of the ass pounding he so rightfully deserves.
“Ranger” Burrell leads the way!
#19 NHS,
Thanks for the background. Is it something in the water, the air, the soil, or the “night soil”? (Anyone who has spent time in the farmlands of Europe or Korea understands).
If I didn’t have arms on my chair, I’d be ROFLMFAO.
He’s won shitbird of the month. Now can he compete with MSG Soup Sandwich?
@31 – Nightsoil? That’s nasty!
Piney–question now is, can Soupy compete with HIM?
@31–B, I’m thinking there’s some serious hallucinogens growing out of all that cow shit. Just drive up I-15 on a nice warm day starting around Temecula all the way up to the Cajon Pass, but especially around Mira Loma (between the 10 and the 91) and you’ll know what I mean.
C2–I shouldn’t poke fun, considering my uncle lives out there, but then again, it’s an unwritten rule in Orange County that every town east of I-15 gets “tucky” added to their name; i.e., Heme-tucky, River-tucky, Redland-tucky, Fon-tucky, etc…
If this Jack Hole is a Navy Seal then I am Rambo and Bruce Lee with shades of Chesty Puller rolled into one cause………..
My military career was 4 years army, 8 years army national guard…… No special training but for my Mos, (at the Time I was 42 years old). I work in IT (Computer Tech). No bad ass by any stretch but I am not a puss either 5’6 180 and in ok shape built like a fire hydrant (my wife says)
So a couple years back the wife and I with some friends from Taunton are having a few drinks at the peddlers Loft in Raynham Mass and this Douche Bag was drunk trying to get drinks saying he was Special Ops and starting shit with a small guy and some others who were bothering no one. He bumped my wife and starts yelling and I kicked his ass and out of the place no problem….Me…
Even drunk you would think the Seal training would have helped him. I think he was more of a Sea Lying the way he flopped around Glad this D-Bag has been outed
Wait, you mean that there are people who aren’t legally supposed to have guns but find ways to get them ILLEGALLY? Let’s pass a law making that illegal!
Ugh this story cracks me up.
