Bergdoll Arrest Linked to Spy Claims and Gun History
German authorities pursue a cautious case against Grover Bergdoll amid alleged motives and a personal feud with Robert Sachs who denies being an American Legion spy or a newspaper representative. Bergdoll was seized while armed, with revolver and dagger found, after a confrontation at the mayor’s office and city hall. He reportedly faced a draft-dodger case, with ties to a hotel proprietor’s daughter who sent $6,000 to Bergdoll’s mother. His behavior has ranged from heavy spending to austere living.
