The Associated Press
CHICAGO — A man accused of impersonating a
congressman and living off bad checks and stolen
goods was sentenced to nine years in an Indiana
prison.
Jason McDermott, 23, was sentenced Tuesday in
Porter County, Ind., Superior Court, where he also
was ordered to pay $8,700 in restitution to victims of
his scams.
McDermott got four years for three counts of theft
in Indiana and five years for escaping from the Porter
County Jail. He had pleaded guilty earlier.
Authorities said he could be released in 4 1/2 years
with time off for good behavior.
McDermott, of Elmhurst, also is wanted on charges
of forgery and theft in Illinois and elsewhere in Indi
ana.
Authorities say McDermott masqueraded more
than once as U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash. The
two are not related.
A Southern Illinois car dealer had accepted a
$4,400 bad check with the congressman’s name on it
and the words “U.S. House of Representatives” as
payment for an auto.
Jason McDermott is also believed to have used the
59-year-old lawmaker’s name to bid on a Hawaiian
vacation at a charity auction and for other purposes,
authorities said.
