Pendarvis Williams; National Guardsman loots Philly OEF fund
Chief Tango sends us a link to NBC Philadelphia in regards to this Pendarvis Williams fellow who served as a 9-1-1 operator when he wasn’t a National Guardsman. He deployed to Afghanistan and returned in 2003 during which time he took advantage of a special fund for Philadelphia city employees who deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom which paid a benefit of $500/month.
The problem came when Mr. Williams filed paperwork that kept the benefit coming for 111 payments when he wasn’t deployed or supporting the operation;
“Pendarvis Williams used his position as a member of the armed forces to steal $55,500 from the citizens of Philadelphia which, as a guardsman myself, is deplorable,” said District Attorney Seth Williams. “As a civilian member of the Philadelphia Police Department he should be ashamed, as a soldier who fought in Operation Enduring Freedom he has dishonored his unit and as a thief he should be found guilty and be punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
Williams was also in a coveted full-time Guard slot while he helped himself to the money.

A Philly PD employee looking at going to prison for fraud. If he gets hard time, I’m thinking he’s really going to have an enjoyable incarceration.
I overlooked that he’s a soon-to-be ex-Cop, that will make Bubba & Thor happy to see him and add his ass to their prison harem!
Not a Cop, he was a dispatcher. Still though, hope Bubba stretches him wide enough for an 18 wheeler to drive straight through without scraping the sides.
Some say that assholes always get straightened out in prisons!
Doesn’t matter if he wasn’t and officer, he was working for the police/emergency services. I don’t think they will care that he didn’t carry a badge or gun.
He is not a cop! he is a 9-1-1 operator, don’t you know the difference Vern??
Another peckersniffer trying to milk the system. $500 a month, and it flushed his career down the shitpipe unless he knows the right people. He might get his case assigned to some lazy prosecutor and/or end up in front of some lazy and/or liberal “Let ’em loose Bruce” type of Judge and then walks, I hope not. I wonder if he’ll play the race/victim card like a lot of inner city scumbags do?
Scamming. Piece. Of. SHIT.
Come on guys… “All I did was lie. And there’s no law against lying.”
And another favorite:
“We’re from the government and we’re here to manage your money.”
Must be a good system they got up there if someone named “Pendarvis” can rob you blind.
Good job Pendejo Williams. Way to shit on your unit and the United States Army. You’re nothing more than a common criminal.
Shitbag! My money says, the way the Philly courts are overloaded already, this shit stain will never see the inside of a cell. he’ll plea it down for probation and restitution and he’ll find another scam to work.
Who the hell was administering those payments? 111 months? Almost 10 years straight deployed?
Some slack-jawed city worker who was so busy ripping off the city that they didn’t have time to look out for *other* folks ripping off the city.
As I figure it, he loses a job with the PD, is booted from the NG, is convicted of felony theft, has to pay restitution in the amount he stole, and no one will hire his sorry ass. That’s a helluva price to pay for $500/month.
Man up, take your licking and keep it moving.
Everyone is entitled to one mistake. You are still one of 1% that stood up to the call.
God forgives all.
