A Marine veteran who made news when he accidentally crossed the Mexican border near Tijuana in 2013 with several legal firearms and spent over 200 days in custody has made news again — and it isn’t good news.
Police arrested Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi Thursday in Dearborn County, Indiana, for possession of a small amount of marijuana and paraphernalia, according to court documents.
He was sentenced to one month in jail.
While serving, Tahmooressi was hit by an IED while serving in Afghanistan and has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder ever since.
President Barack Obama did nothing to help free the vet when he was imprisoned. Only with the help of some in Congress and even GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump was Tahmooressi freed from Mexican prison.
It is my great honor to send $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi. #marinefreed

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren reported on the situation Monday, noting that until something is done for him, things will more than likely continue to get worse for him. Watch her comments below:
Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.comThis is truly a sad situation because our country is failing a Marine who fought to protect our values and way of life.
It’s no secret that the Department of Veterans Affairs is a mess in need of a complete overhaul. We know veterans are suffering and very little, if anything, is being done to help them.
Tahmooressi has reached out for help on more than one occasion, and Obama and his flunkies have done absolutely nothing to make things better. Obama likes to say he supports our military, but his actions tell a completely different story.
We must step up and do more to help those who fight so bravely to defend our freedom, and it looks like that begins with electing someone who actually cares about their well-being.
