Police: Man Tried To Enter Middle School While Impersonating A Veteran

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A man has been charged after police say he impersonated a veteran in order to get inside a local school.

Police say 23-year-old Jonathan Campbell of Uniontown went to Laurel Highlands Middle School in Fayette County Monday.

At the time he was dressed in an Air Force uniform, but said he was a veteran of the Army and wanted to speak to the students about Veterans Day.

However, officials at the school told police that based on how Campbell was acting and how he looked, they didn't think he was legitimate.

The principal then escorted him off of campus and contacted police.

Campbell was arrested and charged with impersonating a public servant. He is currently in the Fayette County Prison on a $10,000 straight cash bond.
