FAKE BRANTLEY GILBERT GOING TO THE PO-PO

A 25-year-old, Thomas Michael Barth, has been posing as Brantley Gilbert and has now been charged with two counts of theft after police said he ordered $12,000 in merchandise from businesses while posing as Brantley.  The Warsaw Police Department said that during his three-month scheme, Barth allegedly emailed and texted Robert's Signs in Warsaw, posing as Brantley, and ordered $8,000 worth of personalized products and clothing.  He also ordered a computer, along with musical and electronic equipment from musician Kevin Kyle of Winona Lake worth about $4,000.  Police said the real Brantley and his managers have had many complaints about the imposter and ordered him to stop.  Barth turned himself in on April 26th and was jailed on two counts of felony theft.
