Prince George’s County police say they have arrested a Fort Washington man accused of impersonating Eagles backup quarterback Vince Young.
Stephan Antwain Pittman, 33, of the 2800 block of Lindesfarn Terrace, was taken into custody by county police at a shopping center in Temple Hills and was charged with first-degree fraud. The charges have been filed in Washington DC.
According to the Washington Post, Pittman is charged with defrauding a woman who gave him $2,500 which he said would go to a charity foundation that “does such things as provide hula hoops for neighborhood children,” a county police spokeswoman said.
Pittman first met the woman in June on Facebook and said he was connected to Young; eventually they began meeting and Pittman, who bears a resemblance to Young, said he was the in fact the Eagles quarterback.
Young had Tweeted earlier this week warning fans that “there is a man in the DC area that has been impersonating me” and identified him as Pittman.
Maryland’s sex offender registry shows that Pittman is a registered sex offender for a crime in a different state. He was last listed as a “Tier III” offender, which is the most serious level, and was listed as “compliant.”
