New York Air National Guardsman accused of impersonating CIA agent to impress woman
2019-02-21
[Stars and Stripes] CICERO, N.Y. (Tribune News Service) ‐ A New York man who police have accused of impersonating a CIA agent to impress a woman works for the New York Air National Guard as a drone camera operator, according to a New York Air National Guard spokesman and an Air Force website.

Staff Sgt. Ryan R. Houghtalen, 25, was charged with second-degree impersonation of a public servant, a misdemeanor, according to court records.

After showing the woman a fake CIA ID, Houghtalen told the woman how he was currently targeted by terrorists.

"He was telling her his job as a CIA agent is very dangerous," said New York State Police spokesman Jack Keller. "He was hoping to use that information to start a relationship with her."

Houghtalen told the woman he met at church that, because he was a CIA agent, both he and her were targets of ISIS, according to court documents.

#9  Even nailed the radar operator in the movie Commando. Hey, that is two Commando references in a 24 hour period, but you ask, "So how does this all connect to Kevin Bacon?"

Apollo 13 my friend. Apollo 13.

#8  Bill Paxton, definitely an interest multiplier. True Lies wouldn't have been True Lies without him. Would Aliens have been the same without how he delivered Hudson's one-liners? Would Twister even be watchable without his lead?

#6  But then, maybe he's looking for a woman who has no sense.

#5  Impress a woman? Any woman with any sense would run, not walk, away from this guy whether she believed him or not.

#3  I'm very sorry Airman Houghtalen, the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) indicates your security clearance has been revoked. You've been reassigned to the squadron motor pool as a driver.
