RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A Palm Springs man charged with unauthorized wearing of the Navy’s highest honor and other medals has pleaded not guilty.

Steven Burton, 39, who was never in the military, was photographed wearing a Marine Corps uniform displaying the Navy Cross along with the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and other medals.

A Navy commander attending her high school reunion noticed Burton in uniform with the medals and contacted the FBI.

Burton pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge Thursday in federal court. He was released on $10,000 bond and ordered to return for a Dec. 21 hearing.

It's going to be a hard case to win for the prosecution since they have no proof.
Opps they have a [picture of him in uniform wearing the Navy Cross. So how in the hell is he going to fight this one. Should have cut his losses and just plead guilty.

Some people just feel the need to Double Down on Stupid.
