Bowe Bergdahl — the once-missing U.S. soldier in Afghanistan who was accused of desertion — was spotted hanging out at a Mendocino County marijuana farm during a raid.
According to the The Anderson Valley Advertiser, Bergdahl was an "unexpected visitor" in Mendocino County, where he was visiting old friends when the "local dope team arrived on a marijuana raid."
Bergdahl arrived Friday at the farm, which is located in a remote part of Redwood Valley.
Bergdahl, who is awaiting military court martial, had an Army pass allowing him to be in Mendocino County, the Advertiser reported, adding he was "not connected to the dope grow in any way."
The Mendocino Sheriff Department confirmed the report to NBC Bay Area, stressing Bergdahl was not arrested during the raid.
However, the Advertiser reported that military officials were notified and, after "calls all the way up to the Pentagon," Bergdahl was escorted by military personnel sent to Ukiah. The sheriff told the Advertiser that Bergdahl was "above politeness" and even produced his military ID when people from the house he was visiting were being arrested.
The Sheriff's Department was able to confirm that Bergdahl was on authorized leave to visit his friends and was not involved with the production of marijuana. At the request of the Pentagon, Bergdahl was transported to Santa Rosa by the sheriff's department. An Army major was expected to take him to his duty station near Washington.
