Here is the link. Did not see anywhere he claimed to be a Ranger; but I could not open all the entries. Maybe you will have better luck.

As dangerous as Monday’s incident could have been, Purcell said he was glad it was him who came down the hallway first. He had served as a Ranger with the U.S. Army in Grenada in 1985 and as an Arizona Department of Corrections detention officer on Death Row in Florence for six years.

This is a guy who walks around telling everyone how tough he is and that because of "all" the tough stuff he had to do it cost him his knees. 1 has been replaced by the VA and also likes to talk about being a sniper for the Rangers. Loove to see him taken down about 6000 pegs.
