WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. - John Vigil claimed to be a homeless veteran and is out of jail and not wanting to answer most questions.
A spokesman with the U.S. Air Force said Friday that they have no record of Vigil serving in the Air Force.
"Yes, I was in the military. (Reporter) How come the military has no record of you ever being in the military? Because that is classified," Vigil said.
In May, dressed in uniform, Vigil said he was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and was homeless.
He said he suffered from PTSD and was living out of a Penske truck with his animals.
"This is what is left of my existence," Vigil said.
Patty Steenbuck, a Lantana resident who heard his story, took him in because she felt bad for him.
Police charged Vigil with battery and say Steenbuck had multiple injuries.
"(Reporter) Did you hit her? No.," Vigil said.
Vigil insists we don't know the entire story, but he would not elaborate.
He is denying that the Penske rental truck was stolen out of Colorado.
