couple indicted for posing as federal agents to "deport" woman back to philippines

These people suck. Last week in San Diego, Gregory Raymond Denny Jr. and his wife, Karen Evon Denny, were indicted for allegedly tricking a woman into taking a plane back to her native Philippines by claiming they were U.S. Marshalls enforcing a fugitive warrant issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement: Couple charged with posing as federal agents to trick an undocumented immigrant into leaving the U.S.

Police said Denny, 37, barged into Cherriebelle Hibbard's Hemet home on Jan. 15 wearing a fake badge and a shirt that said "U.S. Marshal. Denny handcuffed the woman at gunpoint and forced her husband to buy her a plane ticket. He then used a fake badge to get through San Diego airport security and put her on a plane to the Philippines, her home country, according to a police report.

Hibbard remains in the Philippines, authorities said.

Craig Hibbard said he called the U.S. Marshals Service three days after the false deportation and officials there told him Denny wasn't an agent.

Police said in February that they arrested Denny after he came to the station for questioning wearing a fake badge and a replica pistol. Denny claimed he was a federal marshal but later admitted he impersonated a marshal and confirmed the family's account, Hemet Lt. Mark Richards said.

The incident may have been over some kind of family feud -- Charriebelle Hibbard is married to Denny's distant cousin. Or maybe the guy just likes playing cop. The charges include kidnapping, conspiracy, impersonating a federal officer and making false statements to a federal officer. More here: Man, Wife Charged With Phony Deportation.
