ALBANY, N.Y. — Two West Point cadets face courts-martial on charges of distributing cocaine and other drugs and another senior faces similar charges amid a months-long investigation, the U.S. Military Academy said Wednesday.
West Point first announced in November that six cadets faced charges that they conspired to distribute drugs...
The other four cadets on administrative leave are awaiting a decision from the superintendent on further proceedings, which could include courts-martial or administrative action.
The cadets are accused of driving to nearby Newburgh, New York, as well as Pennsylvania and New Jersey to purchase drugs and then bringing them to West Point in 2015 and 2016. The charges involve the wrongful distribution, introduction and use of cocaine, oxycodone, oxymorphone and alprazolam, according to charging documents.
New charges were bought Tuesday against Ammon Tuimaunei, with five violations related to the possession and distribution of cocaine and oxycodone and two violations related to conspiracy with intent to distribute cocaine and oxycodone...

I only see one name listed and it doesnt appear to be Amish!!/S
Sounds Mormon.
I’m thinking football players maybe.
West Point seems to have a discipline problem. Second time in 9 months they’ve made the negative news. Maybe instead of political placements, Admissions could concentrate on the most qualified applicants instead?

Not this sh*t again. When I was a cadet, 3 members of the Class of 1985 in my company were charged with introducing cocaine to the post as well as using it. One fellow went all the way to trial an ended up in the Naval Brig in Philadelphia.
His name (to me) seems to sound somewhat of Maouri or Polynesian origin. I wasnt implying he was black, I was implying the name sounded “other than WASP” ;-)
And I have NO sympathy for any Cadet that is doing drugs or violating the honor code NONE!
How does something like this even get on the radar of someone going to West Point? Seems incongruous.

Doesn’t sound like the usual non-Amish suspects either, name sounds Polynesian. Still I second the “today’s army” comment upthread. Lots to be done.
Trump should discharge the ‘black power’ salute females.
Your right. It should just be hanging. Save us the money.
Too bad. I know some really great kids who could have done a lot more with their taxpayer-provided education at West Point than these.

Go Navy-Beat Army
USNA’89
When I was at USNA Rule was prior to Junior year no repay, post Junior year enlisted time. I never saw it enforced. This was mid/late ‘80’s
If they were distributing drugs on post, they need to repay the government with time in Leavenworth. Then bill them for the tuition, room, and board we wasted on them once they are when released.
We sure don’t want them in the ranks anywhere.
How about we let the court martial process work before convicting these cadets on the Internet???
