St. Louis, MO -- A local man is accused of living a lie, posing as a highly decorated Marine. He fooled his friends but not the feds. The so-called phony Marine, 48-year-old Michael Weilbacher, was just arrested at Tuesday night's Marine League meeting.
My wife works with him. She says he acts like the typical retired Marine with war stories, coffee mug, cubicle stuff, lanyard, etc. She also told me he is a nice guy and doesn't think anything malicious was behind it and hope he gets psychological help.
