Man accused of impersonating Marine, again

KENTWOOD, Mich. — Authorities say a man accused of impersonating a Marine in suburban Detroit in 2009 has been charged with doing the same in southwestern Michigan.

De Hieu Tran, 42, of Ypsilanti was charged Wednesday in a federal criminal complaint with impersonating a federal agent, wearing a Purple Heart without authority and wearing a military uniform without authority.

Records say Tran is a Vietnamese citizen who was ordered deported in 2002. The Grand Rapids Press reports he's also accused of collecting cash in Kentwood for promises to help immigrants gain citizenship.

Tran was on probation after pleading guilty in Ferndale to a charge of wearing a uniform when not in service.
