It was the civil law enforcement authorities that brought this to the attention of the military. He's accused of using $1500 worth of fake chips at a casino in Iowa. That's a felony. He made good on the $1500 and because of that, as well as who he is and his lack of a record, the civil authorities dropped charges and turned it over to the miltiary for action.
So you tell me. What do you do with a senior officer who apparently like ripping off casinos? Just let it slide?
Supposedly the casino chips have microchips in them to prevent fraud. Surely he couldn’t have been so stupid.
Civil authorities give military a free pass on a $1500 robbery? What kind of banana republic law enforcement is that?
Either he did it or he did not do it. if he did not do it, it is all too easy to setup a man with a phony allegation he cannot disprove. It is suspsicious, therefore, to see this man accused of a crime whose nature is not subject to being disproved.
