He Flashed a Fake DOJ Badge for a $20 Fee - Then the FBI Made One Phone Call On January 23, 2024, in Port Charlotte, Florida, Deputy Chandler of the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office received a seemingly simple call: a customer paid with an insufficient funds check at a Firestone tire shop. But when the customer arrived to resolve the issue, he voluntarily identified himself as a United States Department of Justice investigator, showed off a gold badge with "51 years of service," and declared he would fly to Paraguay to put down a coup the following month.
