Requiem for a Fib
Noah Felice, age 71, was sentenced to one month behind bars for lying to the Federal Aviation Administration; so stated a plethora of credentialed bureaucrats to include: United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman; Christopher A. Scharf, Special Agent in Charge, Northeastern Region of the U.S. Department of Transportation-Office of Inspector General; and Christopher F. Algieri, Special Agent in Charge of the Northeast Field Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs-Office of Inspector General.
Felice was previously convicted at the conclusion of a December 2022 jury trial during which evidence was presented implying he, in September 2017, had submitted an application for an airman medical certificate to the FAA. Felice falsely stated on subject document that he’d neither a history of criminal convictions nor was receiving medical disability benefits.
In point of fact, Mr. Felice, at the time, had no fewer than four prior misdemeanor convictions—two of which were for previously misrepresenting his criminal history on state and local forms. Furthermore, Felice was receiving, also, several thousand dollars monthly from the Department of Veterans Affairs on account of his having been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
In addition to one-month at the DOJ’s pleasure, United States District Court Judge Glenn T. Suddaby sentenced Mr. Felice to serve three-years of supervised release following his term of incarceration. As a condition of his release, Felice will be required to remain three-months in home confinement—a euphemism for house arrest.
The described case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Transportation-Office of Inspector General and the Department of Veterans Affairs-Office of Inspector General, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas Sutcliffe and Paul Tuck.
