Travis Airman charged for selling, using drugs Published May 13, 2008 By Staff Judge Advocate 60th Air Mobility Wing Legal Office TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A Travis senior airman was sentenced to a reduction to E-1, confinement for nine months and a Bad Conduct Discharge in court-martial proceedings here recently. The Airman, assigned to the 60th Aerial Port Squadron, was charged with wrongful distribution of psilocyn mushrooms, wrongful distribution of marijuana on divers occasions and wrongful use of cocaine, violations of Article 112 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. The member was also charged with attempted wrongful distribution of ecstasy on divers occasions, a violation of Article 80 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. The maximum punishment for these offenses is dishonorable discharge, 50 year confinement and reduction to E-1. The member sold marijuana and what was thought to be ecstasy twice to another active duty Airman. The member also sold mushrooms. After selling what the member thought was ecstasy, the drug was later determined to be methamphetamine and cocaine. Additionally, the member used cocaine. The member pled guilty to the charges. According to the 60th Air Mobility Wing Legal Office, selling serious, illegal and addictive drugs to other Airmen, in addition to using them, is a serious offense that degrades good order and discipline. This conviction qualifies as a federal conviction, which will follow the member for the remainder of their life. This member will serve time in jail, and be discharged from the Air Force with a bad conduct discharge, meaning that the member will not receive many Veterans Affairs benefits and will have difficulty obtaining federal or state government employment in the future.
