An alleged Nazi sympathizer from Concord has been ordered to pay more than $17,000 in restitution after pleading guilty to making false statements to a government agency for lying about his mental health status in an application to join the U.S. Army in 2017, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Ross Anthony Farca, 24, pleaded guilty to the charge on April 9 and acknowledged he falsely said on an electronic questionnaire that he had not consulted with a health care professional about an emotional or mental
health care problem, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Farca had traveled to an Army recruitment center in Mountain View on June 22, 2017, and knowingly made false statements about his mental health on the online background check application despite having been in regular
contact with a psychiatrist since 2011 and receiving prescriptions for various medications, prosecutors said.
Farca reported to basic training on Aug. 28, 2017, but was discharged after a little over a month, with the discharge paperwork citing an “erroneous enlistment” due to an existing medical condition.
Concord police last June said Farca was allegedly using the screen name of “Adolf Hitler” and made online threats to kill Jews. A semi-automatic rifle was found at his home during a search, according to police.
He had been in custody since his arrest in the federal case on Nov. 21, and was sentenced to time already served plus the restitution of
$17,832.
His sentence also includes three years of supervised release with restrictions on his computer usage. He is being transferred to jail in Contra Costa County to face additional local charges, federal prosecutors said.

Why don’t they look more at so many of our politicians, universities, health care directors, police etc. that are obviously anti American and/or mentally ill.
And Eric Clanton, the antifa bike-lock attempted murderer, walked away with zero consequences. Nice justice system.
Eric Clanton had 7 victims, 1 needed 5 staples in his head.
All felonies were dropped & he pleaded no contest to 1 misdemeanor.
He’s free to continue teaching at DVC and other colleges.
Eric Clanton should be doing 10 years in prison. But Antifa has backing with deep pockets and a truck load of lawyers and supporters. The money undoubtedly can be traced to Soros’ Open Society Foundations. With a $19.59 billion endowment, they have the potential to do more damage to the US than the Soviet Union could have ever dreamed of.
Regular visits to a psychiatrist, but he had a semi-automatic rifle?????
The psychiatrist part isn’t what concerns me with his gun ownership but the issuance of threats to kill people certainly does.
And people like you are the reason cops & soldiers won’t talk to therapists about work related stress.
Mr. Farca obviously has some serious issues, but 99% of the people out there that do talk to therapists are in far better shape then those who don’t.
He must illegally obtained the gun just as felons do.
Amazing we still have nazi sympathizers.
@Paul Based on the article, there’s nothing there to indicate he could not own a gun up to point where he lied to the Army. The threats may get him red flagged, but it doesn’t appear he has been committed or ruled incompetent to stand trail, so he could legally purchase a gun.
If he was convicted of violating 18 USC Section 1001, that’s a felony and his gun days are over.
And yet we have a criminal protesters shouting racial epithets and burning buildings and property. And this guy is a threat?
He chose the wrong form of depraved socialism.
