That firefighter who supposedly is helping crews with the High Park Fire and at one time pose for a picture with the governor turns out not only to be an imposter but has a criminal history as well.  Larimer County Sheriff’s officials say that 30 yr old Michael Stillman Maher was caught crossing into a restricted fire area using stolen government license plate and phone credentials.  His criminal history includes pleading guilty to 3rd degree sexual assault and pleading guilty to disorderly conduct in Eagle County as well as falsely reporting a fake crime.  Maher was arrested and his bond has been set at $15 thousand.
