Navy commander lied about 9/11 injuries, feds say

A retired Navy commander falsified bank statements and lied about injuries sustained while helping people out of the Pentagon during the Sept. 11 attack in his $331,000 claim to a victim’s fund, a federal attorney said in court records.

Charles E. Coughlin was named in a federal civil suit filed Sept. 18 in the U.S. District Court in Washington, which is seeking his Severna Park home after he used the money as a down payment.
