It's rare that a 37 year old can get away with pretending to be a 79 year old, but one guy almost got away with it.�
Jeffrey Jacobs of Connecticut was charged with criminal impersonation after running a little scam.�
Police state that Jacobs was lying about his identity to a tree service company after he found out the company's owner was a big Bruins fan (apparently a bandwagon one if he couldn't tell the difference). A tree fell on Jacobs' house and got the company to come out in the middle of the storm and billed the $5100 job to Jeremy Jacobs, the Bruins owner.�
It's not the first time that Jacobs tried to use Jeremy Jacobs' name, police report he's also tried to do it to get out of a traffic ticket, telling the officer he was the Bruins' owner.�
Jacobs is currently out on bond and has a court date July 30th.�
