Ryan Michael Piatchek – Charged with Stolen Valor

| March 30, 2019

According to the West Plains Daily Quill (Missouri)…

Ryan Michael Piatchek, 27, St. Louis, was arrested at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday in Mtn. View on a Montgomery County charge of violation of the Stolen Valor Act regarding use of veteran title, first offense, and is held on $1,000 bail. The Mtn. View Police Department was the arresting agency.

I found this to be an interesting case in that this individual was charged with stolen valor.  The state of Missouri seems to take stolen valor very seriously, with their Stolen Valor Act of 2007.  The first crime is a misdemeanor and the second, a felony.

I also found it interesting that the police were able to charge him on the spot.  How did they know he was not a veteran if he did not admit that to them?

The DoD Manpower / SCRA database was searched for all possible years including the present.  All results were negative and the below search represented the highest probability since Piatchek was born in 1991.

However, Piatcheck showed up on other searches…

Among the charges:

  • Theft
  • Tampering with a motor vehicle (Felony)
  • Passing bad checks
  • Stealing Leased or Rented Property
  • Fugitive From Out of State (Felony)

Ryan’s been busy.  Leaves such little time for serving one’s country.

Is it just me or does that first (topmost) photo look like Tom Brady on meth?

Non Cedo Ferio

Prob the same look Brady had when the whole Deflated football Incident came to light!

Comm Center Rat

That was Brady’s look when he was told Robert Kraft was arrested for soliciting prostitution at a cheap Asian massage parlor in a Florida strip mall.

STGCS Ret

Wow the resemblance is uncanny….Well when he gets out he can run a scam on Patriots fans LOL

HMC Ret

His face at the ‘no call’ that gave the game to him. Even the refs admit they hosed that.

How long is this one going to be off the street before he gets to start up again?

Just askin’ because he’s not a bad-looking sort in any of those shots, and if he runs across some desperate female, he’ll just do it again, and it will cost her more than it costs him.

Second time if he pursues the S/V thing is felony and now would possibly fall under 3 strike law if there is one in that state. What was he posing as to being in the military. If was seal would possibly be a winner for 2 in one day.

$1,000 bail, is probably already out there and in the wind.

He is probably a broke ass bitch who can’t make bail and no one else will post for him.

As someone who is bad looking I find your comment very sexist….

Nahhh I’m just joshing…, I mean I am uglier than all get out but luckily my beautiful wife has weird tastes!

As a Missourian I can tell you that most LEO (at least in my area) are either former military or very supportive of military and this is a pretty patriotic state. Even the criminals here (I used to be a jailer) hate stolen valor.

In the first mugshot he has that “I just pumped the neighbors Cat” look on his face…

5th/77th FA

Maybe his next mugshot will have that “I was just pumped by Mr. Tiny and Thor” look on his face.

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66, ARNG 75-77

In the top mugshot, he has a ry an mean look.
