Polk County deputies arrested a man Wednesday for impersonating a member of the military for the purpose of material gain, a federal crime known as Stolen Valor. 27-year-old Kyle Christopher Barwan was taken into custody in Plant City Wednesday as a result of an investigation that began in December after Polk County Sheriff's Office received a tip. The tip came from someone who read a blog about Barwan impersonating military officers. During the investigation, deputies learned Barwan had previously been arrested and charged federally for impersonating an officer in the military, in two different states (Kentucky and Illinois). After serving his time there, he later moved to Illinois where he was again arrested for impersonating an officer in the military in 2014.
