A Shelburne man accused of improperly identifying himself as a member of the military has been arrested.

Shelburne police say they launched an investigation in January after being contacted about a man who was wrongfully identifying himself, while wearing military medals and a uniform.

The Military Police also contributed to the four month long investigation.

On Saturday, police revealed they have arrested and charged a 51-year-old man for unlawful use of a military uniform.

The accused will appear before a court later this month.
