Bragg soldier demoted for identity theft

Post by Flesh Thorn »

A soldier who used his brother's identity to enlist in the Army 25 years ago was demoted two ranks Wednesday afternoon at the conclusion of his court-martial at Fort Bragg.
Sgt. Maj. William Anthony Morrone Jr. was convicted earlier Wednesday of fraudulent enlistment and making false official statements for his use of his brother Gerald's name and Social Security number throughout his 25-year military career.
He said he took his brother's identity in 1988 because he couldn't get back in the Army any other way following a less-than-honorable discharge in the early 1980s.
