May 3, 2023 | 11:20 AM

A Richland Center man has been charged in a stolen military valor case. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says 34 year old Jakobie Timblin was charged after allegedly pretending to be a Marine and stealing thousands of dollars from his girlfriend and her stepmother. A report says that Timblin purchased a fake uniform and medals online, and said he was “deployed” when he was actually in prison. Timblin started communicating with the victim online in 2015. In 2019, the two met in person and started dating. Timlin is reported to have received more than $11,000 from the victim and her stepmother.
