SAN ANTONIO — A 39-year-old Army veteran who faked being a military hero will remain in custody until a judge in San Antonio decides whether to revoke his probation.
Brian Culp, who served two tours of duty, had faced six months in prison on charges of falsely claiming a Purple Heart, falsely claiming a Bronze Star with valor and creating a fake ID that gave him access to military installations. Culp pleaded guilty in 2008 and was sentenced to three years of probation.
Culp in late June was kicked out of a halfway house amid allegations of insolence, lying and intimidation of staff. He was arrested in early July.
Culp on Thursday waived his right to a preliminary probation revocation hearing.
No hearing date was immediately set by U.S. Magistrate John Primomo.
