Police arrested a man Friday on federal charges alleging that he impersonated a National Security Agency employee and Chief Justice John Roberts as part of his efforts to get information on his biological daughter and have a case against him dismissed.
In July, a grand jury convened in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana returned a five-count indictment against Joshua M. Culver, also known as Maverick A. Young. He was arrested Friday for falsely impersonating an officer of the United States and for forging the signature of a judge, according to a story by Bloomberg Law.
The indictment alleges that Culver forged Roberts’ signature on a letter to try to dismiss with prejudice a case pending against him in Grant County, Indiana.
In January, Culver was previously charged with threatening and harassing a Lake County, Indiana judge, according to a story by the Times of Northwest Indiana.
