Two men are accused of posing as U.S. marshals to get out of wearing masks at the Wyndham Deerfield Beach Resort.
Walter Wayne Brown Jr., 53, and Gary Brummett, 81, were arrested on charges of impersonating a federal officer.
Both men flashed fake badges to hotel employees when asked to wear a facial covering and threatened to have employees arrested. Brummett also showed employees a laminated card that stated he was medically exempt from wearing one.
Employees became suspicious and notified the Broward Sheriff’s Office, who confronted the men while dining at the resort. Both men wore circular badges that read “Cherokee Nation Marshal,” and gave deputies ID cards identifying them as Aniyvwiya Tribal Nation members.
