Kansas Man Sentenced for Impersonating an FBI Agent
A Sumner County man tried to get out of a traffic ticket by pretending to be an FBI agent, but his scheme was foiled and he was sentenced to a year on probation and a $1,000 fine.
Jarrod M. Andra, 36, of Milan, Kansas, pleaded guilty to one count of impersonating an agent. Andra admitted that on November 30, 2018, he was stopped for speeding in Sumner County by a Sumner County Sheriff’s Deputy.
In a bizarre attempt to evade the traffic ticket, Andra claimed he was a special agent for the FBI and presented what appeared to be an FBI identification card with his photo.
Andra’s stunt didn’t work, and he was charged with impersonating an agent. U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister commended the FBI, the Sumner County Sheriff’s Department, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch for their work on the case.
Andra’s sentence is a stark reminder that trying to fake your way out of trouble won’t pay off. In this case, it landed him a year on probation and a $1,000 fine.
The case serves as a warning to anyone who thinks they can use a fake badge or identification to get out of trouble. It’s a lesson that Andra will have to live with for a year, and one that others would do well to remember.
The Sumner County Sheriff’s Department was able to see through Andra’s scheme and charge him with the crime. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of law enforcement officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.
