Interfamilial Deportation
This bullethead is Greg Raymond Denny Jr, 37. He's accused of posing as a federal marshal to aid him in a bizarre kidnapping in January 2010.
Denny allegedly used a fake badge and a t-shirt that read "U.S. Marshal" to bypass airport security in San Diego, Calif., in an attempt to force a five-month pregnant woman to board a plane to the Philippines, where she is from. Police said Denny handcuffed the woman at gunpoint and took her from her home, and "forced" her husband buy the plane ticket.
It just might give you a little clue as to his motive when you learn that Denny is a relative of the woman's husband, and the couple had had a fight....
"I think this guy thought he was doing a favor because [the family] wanted her deported and he went about it the wrong way," said Hemet, Calif., police Lt. Duane Wisehart. The department has forwarded the case to the FBI, as impersonating a federal agent is a federal felony.
Meanwhile, airport officials actually allowed the woman board her flight under Denny's gaze, and she is now stuck in Manila. She is unsure whether she will be allowed back into the U.S.
There was no deportation order for the woman. Even if there was, federal marshals do not carry out deportation orders.
When police called him in for an interview, Denny appeared wearing a t-shirt that read "Federal Agent", had the fake marshal's badge around his neck, and a fake gun in a holster. He was arrested, and listed his profession as an apprehension agent for a bail bondsman.
Makes you feel even better about airport security, doesn't it?

"Field day" is probably putting it lightly, Robert. I think we can bet they'll be focused on making an example of him.
The dumb schmuck probably STILL can't figure out what went wrong! ;)

Is the husband the father of the woman's child? If so, he deported his own kid!
