Report: Army veteran won't face more charges

Corpus Christi, TX KRISTV.COM Report: Army veteran won't face more charges
SAN ANTONIO -- An Army veteran sentenced to probation for fabricating a dazzling military career will not face additional felony charges for the benefits he allegedly received based on false claims, according to a newspaper report.


Brian Culp, 38, was sentenced to three years probation Dec. 30 after falsely claiming a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with valor along with creating a fake military identification that gave him access to bases. He also was being investigated over allegations he received $11,000 in benefits fraudulently.

Culp told detectives he was receiving 60 percent disability payments from the Veterans Administration based on false claims about seeing mass war graves in Bosnia and being wounded there, according to the investigative file. However, Culp was never in Bosnia.

A decision not to prosecute was made this week after a review of the case that had been prepared jointly by the Office of Inspector General for Veterans Affairs and detectives at Lackland Air Force Base.
