FORT GORDON, Ga. — A former National Guardsman who wore camouflage fatigues so often that a neighbor thought he was in the military was charged Wednesday with pretending to be an Army soldier after authorities say he persuaded an officer at a military base to give him a laser sight.
Anthony Todd Saxon, 34, was charged with impersonating a master sergeant and stealing the sight after he was caught on the east Georgia base with a land mine, several grenades and night-vision devices, prosecutors said.
Fort Gordon spokesman Buz Yarnell said Saxon was stopped on the post because his car matched the description of one suspected in a theft of military equipment in April. Yarnell would not say what had been stolen.
