Tennessee man charged with impersonating Barack Obama on gun permit application
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Police charged a Tennessee man after they say he forged former President Barack Obama’s name on an application for a handgun permit.
Chattanooga officers arrested Robert Joseph Hallick on Feb. 11. He’s charged with perjury, forgery and identity theft.
An affidavit obtained by WTVC says Hallick had been denied a gun permit request using his own name back in Nov. due to an active warrant for his arrest in the state of Michigan.
The arrest report says Hallick sent another application on Jan. 21, except this time he used the name “President Barack H. Obama” instead and included a $50 check with the form.
The report also says Hallick’s application also contained a letter “bearing the United States of America seal with United States Department of State letterhead.”
It’s a violation of state law to forge a person’s name on a gun permit application.
