Scranton Man Charged with Stolen Valor

| January 25, 2020

Chris Crawford

The news organization PAHomePage reports that the District Attorney Mark Powell of Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania announced Friday that charges were filed against 31-year-old Chris Crawford for misrepresenting himself as a member of the military.

The new charges against Crawford of “Misrepresentation of Military Service or Honors” and “Misrepresentation of Decoration or Medal.”

…..

The article says…

In his statement, [District Attorney] Powell said, “The conduct alleged in this case – masquerading as a combat veteran in order to infiltrate and steal funds from an American Legion post – is breathtakingly brazen and unprecedented in my almost 30 years of practicing criminal law in Lackawanna County. It’s an affront to every veteran who has defended our great nation.”

Crawford joined Post 568 under the guise that he was a combat veteran.

After accessing Chris Crawford’s military files, it was revealed that Crawford spent two months and twenty-five days in boot camp starting in April of 2007. Crawford went absent without leave (AWOL) from C Company 2-54th Infantry in Fort Benning, Georgia.

Crawford was “Discharged under Other Than Honorable Conditions” in November 2007 and according to the DA’s office – is not considered to be a member of the military.

Some more interesting tidbts on this Dude:

(1) American Legion Officers at Post 568 in Minooka, PA said Crawford joined under the guise of being a Combat Veteran. He wore a hat displaying a Combat Infantry Badge, which is awarded only to Infantrymen who have engaged in active ground combat and held himself out to be a Veteran of War.

(2) He declared Veterans status on his application to the state Department of Transportation for a Nondriver’s photo identification card. He is NOT considered to be a Veteran because of his Other Than Honorable Discharge.

(3) He was originally arrested last Summer and accused of stealing more than $16,700 from American Legion Post 568 by using Post Debit Cards to make unauthorized cash withdrawals and purchases between March and August.

(4) He served as Post 568’s Executive Officer in Charge of Memberships and Recruitment after transferring from a Post in Pittsburgh, PA (Which means he conned that Post as well).

(5) He went AWOL in June 2007 from Fort Benning, GA while attending Infantry Basic Training. He finally surrendered after 4 months at Fort Drum, NY in November 2007 and was transferred to Fort Knox, KY to face possible Court-Martial charges. In December 2007, he received a Discharge Under Other Than Honorable Conditions in lieu of a Trial by Court-Martial.

No telling what else he claimed or did. Suspect he may have altered his original DD214 or created a new one to be accepted into two (2) American Legion Posts.

Sadly, he is NOT the FIRST Dude who has pulled this stunt. Unfortunately, there may be more out there.

🤔😝

IMO, it looks like two AL posts didn’t do diligence and ask Chris “shitbag” Crawford to fill out a SF-180 to verify his service.

This is interesting.

Unless this is old, Facebook for the American Legion Post 568 still identifies Crawford as their Adjutant.

It also looks as if there is a picture of him shaking hands with another individual at a Legion event.

Am pretty sure the Dude was also the Business Manager and Chief Strategy Officer of this Company in Stranton, PA (one can see his picture at the link):

This is why every vet org should do two (3) basic things.

1. Vet every new member. DD-214, FOIA, etc… If something is hinky no membership until it is cleared up.

2. The books should be open to every member at any time for any reason.

3. Periodic 3rd party audits.

My VFW post instituted all three (3) of these rules after some shenanigans a number of years ago (prior to my joining). It has been smooth sailing ever since.

Dennis - not chevy

Agreed; and it’s not that hard. I’ve had to tell a few applicants at my local VSO they were not eligible. I just said that I was sorry and it wasn’t personal. I then steer them to other groups for which they may be eligible. Only once did it almost get physical, the applicant started in about his Bronze Star, Navy Cross, and Silver Star. I pegged him as a phony, not just because of the order in which he named them, but he resembled a walrus more than a SEAL. I told him to come back with his 214 and be welcomed aboard – I haven’t seen him since.

Getting back to the point; every VSO needs to take the minute it takes to verify and kick out everyone who is not eligible.

HMCS(FMF) ret

Five years ago, I sent letters to the leadership of the AL, VFW and DAV asking each organization what they are going to vet current and new members.

As of today, none of them have answered.

Leadership doesn’t care, all they see is membership dues flowing in.

It should be quite obvious by now, but LsoS Valor Thieves usually aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed- don’t put yourselves in a position where TAH’s ninjas take an interest in you.

Your every sin will be exposed, and the interwebs are forever. We have the best ninjas. Right, Christopher Michael Crawford?

Here’s hoping that the Judge throws the book at him as soon as he gets convicted and he has plenty of warm dates with Bubba, Thor, Julio and “Tiny Tyrone” before they pimp him out to the rest of the cell block!

MORE Tidbits on the Dude and how he did it (Conned the Legion and Steal $$$$):

(1) Dude used an American Legion Post 658 Debit Card to make unauthorized cash withdrawals as well as purchases at Bars, Fast Food Restaurants and Pharmacies.

(2) Reports indicate that he was very knowledgable about Legions and how they operate. He told the Legion that their Books were very messy and their money handling needed to be revamped because it was being handled “old school” and not documented properly.

(3) In February 2019, he became the Executive Officer in Charge of Membership and Recruitment. Since the Members were told by Crawford that the Post Accounts were “messy”, all new Officers to the Legion to include Crawford closed the Old accounts and opened New Accounts, which means Crawford had access to the New Accounts and a Legion Debit Card.

(4) In August 2019, the Bar Administrator noticed discrepancies in the Balance of their Accounts.

(5) The Treasurer reviewed the Legions Bank Statements and found unauthorized purchases and cash withdrawals from Crawford’s Legions Debit Card. Crawford had stolen over $10,000 from June-August 2019 for his own personal use.

Yep. He was a member of that Post before he joined 658.

Too Funny that he is credited himself with the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, NY (the Patch is in the picture My, My, My provided). That is where he turned himself in after going AWOL from Fort Benning.

Gee Whiz.

This Dude has a History.

AWOL.

And now it looks as if he was also arrested in PA in 2016 AND 2017 as well as 2019. Possibly 2008.

He also states ” I have a particular set of skills”.

He sure does. Can you guess what those skills are?
