Poop scooper gets probation for using fake IDs, badges
PITTSBURGH (AP) – A Western Pennsylvania man whose company scoops up pet poop has been placed on probation for two years and fined $500 for buying fake Secret Service identification cards and badges online from China to impress women on a dating site.
A federal judge in Pittsburgh imposed the sentence Monday on 54-year-old Christopher Diiorio of Greensburg, who pleaded guilty in November to a count of fraudulently using an official seal.
He acknowledged the other behavior alleged by federal prosecutors, including flashing an ID card during a traffic stop and trying to use a Secret Service badge to get a government rate for a hotel room.
