Judge Orders Michigan Man to Scrub Veterans Memorial With ToothbrushWednesday, August 08, 2007
Aug. 7: Philip Kolinski stands in a downpour after cleaning a war memorial monument in Saginaw, Mich.
A Michigan man scrubbed a monument to U.S. troops with a toothbrush Tuesday while wearing a T-shirt that read "I Stole From Veterans" as part of a punishment for a scam to solicit scrap yards for metal, the Saginaw News reports.
A judge ordered Philip Kolinski, 73, of Carrollton Township, Mich., to wash the veterans monument outside the Saginaw County Governmental Center after he was found guilty of soliciting metal donations for a sculpture dedicated to Iraq War veterans that was never built, the Saginaw News said.
Instead of using the metal for a monument, he sold it and kept the money, the paper reports.

Saginaw County District Judge A.T. Frank also ordered Kolinski to to pay $9,000 in restitution and $2,095 in fees and fines.
A second man, James M. Arnst, 45, is awaiting trial for his alleged role in the scam.
