Phony deputy case baffles Phoenix sheriff
In Phoenix, a 34 year old man named David Pecard posed as a deputy, FBI agent, marshal and more. He burgled into the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, gained access to an office, and allegedly groped a woman during questioning. Investigators believe Pecard faked fingerprints and used multiple identities. Sheriff Joe Arpaio calls it a bizarre case and says he is still seeking the real identity behind the impostor.

Only poorly controlled Type II diabetics, about one million, would be eligible.
