A New Orleans federal judge has sentenced a Slidell man in connection with a case where the man illegally wore a Navy uniform, complete with medals, at a wedding, according to U. S. Attorney Jim Letten.

Letten reports that 42-year-old Andy Jerome Ticker was sentenced by Judge Jay Zainey to 12 months of home confinement, two years of supervised release, and a $500 fine.

Ticker was charged with illegally wearing military decorations and medals. Letten says that, according to court documents, Ticker attended a wedding in Slidell back in April wearing a Navy Captain dress white uniform, complete with the Navy Cross, Silver Star, and Purple Heart.
