Man Sued for Impersonating Statue of Liberty
Fred Liberty was arrested early Monday morning for accusations of impersonating the Statue of Liberty. Drivers and pedestrians on Lake Street had been complaining for weeks about a man advertising his Tax Offices in a Statue of Liberty costume on the corner with an American Flag.
Liberty claims to have had the costume since he was born, and it had been handed down through his family for generations. "I didn't know I wasn't allowed to wear family heirlooms while at work," said Liberty. The board of New York is suing Liberty for over 35 million dollars for counts of impersonation of the Statue of Liberty, a landmark that New York is known for.
Liberty has plead not guilty to the case, because he claims he has been a part of the Liberty family longer than the Statue of Liberty has even been around. New York board is arguing the case and petitioning all around the United States in honor of all Americans that have come to this country at one point or another.
Further investigations show that Liberty has been in therapy for identity loss for over 10 years. "Liberty suffers from severe identity loss and has been attending my office weekly for the last 10 years. He has no idea who he is, or where he came from, so he creates his own identities to help him feel complete. 3 years ago he was a distant relative of Donald Trump," said therapist of Liberty, Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson is a licensed therapist for people suffering from identity loss and has worked with hundreds of people.
The trial is set for May 3rd, the New York board is hoping that Liberty does not change his identity before then because then all arguments and the case will be gone.
