Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
A Warrenton, Va., motorist was sentenced to 2 years in prison for faking his death three times to beat drunken-driving charges.
Peter Gentry, a 41-year-old financial planner, got caught after a police officer who made one of the drunken-driving arrests spotted him running a stop sign after Gentry supposedly had died.
He was first arrested in 1991, but an official-looking death certificate sent to authorities said he had died in a Los Angeles auto crash and the case was dismissed.
In 1994, he was arrested again and sent in another death certificate.
A year later, Gentry was arrested again and supposedly died this time of “denzor hemorrhagic fever” in Africa. There is no such
disease.
