Christian Desgroux, 59, called 911 saying he was a federal agent and claimed a van with illegal immigrants was taking a bomb to Washington.

He also claimed people in the van were shooting at him near Crabtree Valley Mall in Dec. 2018.
But it was all a lie.
A judge sentenced him on Thursday to 30 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
He's the same man who caused a scare in Cary in 2017 when he landed a helicopter on the SAS campus.

A federal agent testified that Desgroux posed as an army general as part of a stunt to impress a woman.
At the time of the Raleigh incident, he was serving supervised release after pleading guilty to impersonating a military officer and landing a helicopter at SAS.
