A Tucson man is being jailed until his July arraignment on suspicion he posed as a two-star general to get onto Southern Arizona's largest military installation.

Jeffery Lee Bennett, 46, is accused of donning a U.S. Air Force uniform with the rank of major general and entering the Fort Huachuca Army post in Sierra Vista on two occasions in March and April.

He's also accused of possessing a fake military identification card and of knowingly putting a phony Department of Defense vehicle sticker on the silver Volkswagen used to drive past the fort's guard gates.

While dressed as a general, the suspect went shopping at the fort's commissary and post exchange and bought $62 worth of groceries and tax-free items, federal court records say.
