Skyler Whalen, phony Marine becomes phony cop
James sends us a link to the Marine Corps Times’ Gina Cavallaro reportage of the arrest of Skyler Whalen, who we discussed over a year ago when he was pretending to be a Gunnery Sergeant. Now it seems that he is pretending to be a police officer, and the cops aren’t amused;
An off-duty police officer caught Whalen wearing a badge, ballistic vest, handcuffs, radio and gun. Whalen said he was responding to a 911 emergency hang-up call. His fakery was clear, according to the police report.
Whalen fled in his Ford Explorer, then was stopped and taken into custody after admitting he was posing as a cop, the report said.
In his vehicle, police found the law enforcement gear, including a rifle and police department business cards with his name on them, the report said.
A passenger told Kingman police he believed he was on a real “police ride-along” with Whalen.
So do you think he’s finally learned his lesson? Well, according to his neighbors, when the police released Whalen, he went home and they saw him leaving in a Marine uniform.

He clearly likes to play dress-up. I’m thinking his next costume will be courtesy of the Mohave County Sheriff’s Department, and it will be the first one he’s legitimately earned.

As long as he wasn’t investigating a crime or attempting an arrest, isn’t this all just part of his freedom of speech?

Obvious questions pop into my mind like why not just enlist? But the answers are just as obvious.
It seemed that at one time the fakers were almost always old guys who dodged service years ago but wanted the glory of service later in life. Now we have young candy asses who could enlist and go fight and yet they are already building fake careers are heroes.
What will they be like in 30 years?

Why not enlist?
1.He’s obviously retarded.
2.He’s fat.
3.He’s obviously retarded.

What a f’ing waste of oxygen among some bodily fluids his father spewed forth. Seriously? Neighbors saw him leaving in a Marine Uniform aafter he got his ass bailed out?
This kid ieither completely off his rocker or he is just plain stupid as hell.

Well, lessee what we got here . . .
1. Impersonating a law enforcement officer (at least a misdemeanor virtually anywhere, and possibly a felony)
2. Fleeing from police (at least a misdemeanor virtually everywhere, and possibly a felony)
And in Arizona, at least one of those apparently is a felony – since the basic article indicates it was a “felony arrest”.
Given his history, I think Claymore’s right and this guy will have a new suit fairly soon – unless he bolts. I don’t think the judge will give him probation, given the charge and his past behavior. And I don’t think he’s got a prayer of acquittal.

His momma needs to be “slapped upside the head” for having sex with her handicapped brother and conceiving this empty headed idiot. Sheyit! Can’t the courts make her control his daily clothing?
April 18th, 2012 at 8:23 am
He’s fat and he looks like he’s got the herp. What a FAIL!

Somebody needs to make sure that the prosecuters know his history of playing dress up.
He should be assigned as a special detainee to Sheriff Joe, for sure.

Can’t say for sure the prosecutors know yet, OWB – but the PD in Kingman, AZ, does now. (smile)

It’s Kingman, AZ, color me surprised, not.

My prediction is that the next uniform this character wears will be legitimate.
A prison uniform.

FINALLY, one in Az within striking distance!!! I’ll be making a road trip soon, very soon. This little piss-ant thinks he’s a peer of GySgt Charlie Phillips USMC (ret), he is sadly mistaken. Do I need to get a ‘poser’ tag from Az Game & Fish before going hunting? Time for “BAMCIS”!
April 18th, 2012 at 12:48 pm
In AZ? Why can’t he fake being border patrol? That might work…

The gift that keeps on giving

Yat Yas, no tag needed. These wastes of skin are like feral pigs, no tag required. And, my apologies to feral pigs everywhere.
April 18th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Yat Yas, let the Kingman PD deal with this assclown. He ain’t worth going to jail over – no matter how good it would feel to kick his ass.
April 18th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Which one of “The Village People” was this clown supposed to be?
April 18th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Oh my Frickin god! this guy would not make it past the yellow foot prints. Semper Fat!
April 18th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
@17 Hondo, how about if I just beat him a little bit? Maybe they’ll (Kingman PD) give me the ol’ “you’re a bad boy just don’t do it again?” Somebody said it very eloquently earlier, “He’s obviously retarded”!
April 18th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
After all the defending and “he’s a good boy” posts from the last time, no fucking mercy.
And YatYas, while I wouldn’t make a special trip for this assclown, if you’re doing a roadie to Vegas, Kingman is on the way, so that might work.
Frankly, with the CCW laws in AZ, it’s only a matter of time before this guy’s carcass is found along the side of I-40 after trying to pull someone over or some stupid shit like that.
April 18th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Sparky, ya know i haven’t seen Gunny (a real one) Chavez in probably a year. Maybe it’s time to make sure he’s still alive and kicking? Do you mean Retard might be found with a .45 or maybe a .308 (same as a 7.62mm round) slug in his retarded a$$? Heaven forbid!!!
April 18th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
Yat Yas, any chance you were at 3rd AAV 1983-84 or 1st tarcks 1984-86? I was a radio repairman with Tracks back then. Those were good times, the dollar was strong, and I was about 80 pounds lighter.

Here’s his latest escapade in Kingman
July 24th, 2012 at 5:13 pm
This’ll get a decent seed in next year’s dancefor sure.
July 24th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Oh, golly gee, fellas. Don’t you feel sorry for this poor, benighted soulless crap weasel?
You’re just being mean to him. All he wants to do is play soldier. Doesn’t mean he really wants to BE a soldier.
September 13th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
Uhhh and why was he released? Last I checked impersonating a police officer was a felony. Nice work, cops.

[...] Whalen last Spring when a group of Marines discovered his Facebook page and lit out after him. Within a few months, Whalen was back to his fakery, this time responding to a call at a local fair as a police officer. [...]
