Police: Man arrested after posing as U.S. Marshal at hospital
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) - Police say a Central Point man posed as a U.S. Marshals Service officer to get medical care at a Medford hospital.
He was wearing a black uniform, tactical vest and badge last October when he went to the Rogue Valley Medical Center and said he was transporting a fugitive, which caused him anxiety.
He was treated but didn't pay a $1,000 bill.
The Mail Tribune reports he gave a false name but a hospital employee looking at online jail photos early this month recognized 42-year-old Donald Lee Anderson. He was in jail on an unrelated charge of felon in possession of a firearm.
Police searched his home last week and found a U.S. Marshals vest, badge and body armor. Anderson is facing charges of theft and impersonating an officer.

Felon in possession of a firearm on a previous unrelated charge? Betcha he hasn't even been to trial on that one. If he was out on some sort of release agreement, he would also be in violation of that. Hope the Jackson County Jail can hold him now, instead of shuffling him out the door.
Wow, Where did he get the badge? Â Guy sounds dangerous and unstable. Â Nice grab.

"He was in jail on an unrelated charge of felon in possession of a firearm."

Oh come on. A felon not complying with gun laws? This is really rare and a surprise to me.
Vest, badge and body armor? He also had balls.
Too bad food 4 less wasn't there. They would have solved the problem.
@GNTLwarrior ?
 @iamtroglodite@yahoo.com Ya you're right. Excalibur would have been a better fit.
Actualy, the "?" was for the comment, not your name; I think that's a cool one. I just don't see the connection between a grocery store and a lying pos not paying his bill.
