The NYPD committed a Virginia man claiming to be a Navy SEAL to a psych ward, and later found out that he was in fact a Navy SEAL…..

According to the Post’s sources, 29-year-old Shaun Day, on a two-week leave, was stopped for running a red light at Second Ave. and East 26th street on Thursday. After police found a 9mm semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in his pickup truck, they arrested him for gun possession. Despite his claims that he had “top-secret clearance” and that he was a Navy SEAL, the police source said cops thought Day was “rambling incoherently” and committed him to Bellevue Hospital for observation.

Apparently Day couldn’t provide proof of his SEAL status, and because he was so emphatic, he underwent observation for a day. “He was released [Friday] in their care, and they were going to treat him for post-traumatic stress,” the source told the paper. All charges against Day have been deferred, and it’s unclear how he was able to prove his status.
