LARGOS, Fla. —
Authorities arrested a Florida man after he allegedly posed as country music star Jason Aldean and swindled a mentally handicapped woman out of cash. He also allegedly convinced her to have sex with him.
Largos police arrested Daniel Michael Farris, 27, on Tuesday, according to records from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. He faces charges of scheming to defraud a person of less than $20,000 and grand theft.
Police said Farris pretended to be Aldean on Facebook and also posed as a friend of Aldean’s.
“Allegedly, Farris would collect the funds by telling the victim Jason Aldean loved her, but was on tour and his friend needed money,” WFLA reported.
Farris got $230 from the woman, according to an affidavit obtained by WFLA, and asked her to give him $2,000.
He admitted to taking the cash, officers said in the affidavit, and said he used the money to fuel his addiction to prescription pills.
He remained jailed Saturday morning.

Scummy move all around, glad this guys going to have to serve some time more likely than not since it sounds like they caught him red handed, but I want to make something abundantly clear. This guy knows he’s going to have to face time in prison and he’s probably already accepted that, but I bet he probably thinks he’s gonna be the cool cat in the state locked up with a gangster story about how he impersonated a relatively famous country singer and duped a girl out of money and sex. That girl was mentally challenged, bro. None of that shit counts. Guy probably thinks mighty of himself like he pulled off the disguise of the century even though if you take almost any normal pudgy white guy with short hair and a deep enough voice can say they look like so and so country singer. Mix in the fact that you’re swindling someone that probably has the mental capacity of a 13 year old, even I could probably trick her into thinking I’m Jason Aldean and I’m Chinese. It’s one thing if you duped a rich smart cultured woman, but he went low ball as shit and picked a mentally challenged person and cheated her out of a couple hundred bucks. Some people might not think this matters and all since he’s probably going to prison regardless, but sometimes its how you dress the story that makes all the difference.

P.s- Its always Pinellas County. Like how in the Town almost 90% of bank robbery crimes committed are by people from Charlestown. Well the most absurd, lewd, or cooky criminal stories are for the most times coming out of Pinellas County.
