Complaint filed against Peter Toth

The Red Deer Advocate reports that one of our readers, Bob Dale, filed a complaint with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police against Peter Toth who we featured earlier this month;

Dale also provided the Advocate with two record searches of the United States Department of Defense manpower data centre looking for the military records the man claimed to have earned.

However, both searches using the name Peter Toth indicated he did not serve.

Dale filed the complaint representing Stolen Valour – Canada, an organization that aims to expose people posing as military personnel and veterans.

Stolen Valour – Canada doesn’t condone any violence taken against someone who wears a military uniform they did not earn.

Dale said part of the reason he did this was for the man’s safety as veterans take offence to people who have not served in the military, but say they have.

The Royal Canadian Legion Red Deer post #35 has also filed a complaint, according to Red Deer News.

Bev Hanes, President at Red Deer Branch #35, says the case has been sent to Ottawa and an update is expected in the coming days.

According to a statement from Red Deer Catholic Schools, they rely on the Legion to provide veterans for such ceremonies.

In the meantime, Hanes says Toth provided papers to the Red Deer branch which seemed legitimate.

“There’s no way for us to check if they’re forged or not,” she says, adding they have no other choice but to give the benefit of the doubt.

Legion member Joe Matallo says that they called him out on his claims over a year ago, but that hasn’t deterred Toth.
