Can I get an Article 15 even if there’s no evidence?
Posted on
So I’m facing a field grade because my buddy got arrested at a bar drinking underaged by MP’s. (Covid rules cannot be in bars or clubs) I wasn’t there when this all went down, he got the whole breathalyzer and all that jazz. I had to meet up with our leadership at a nearby installation to get him out, I was never under MP custody, wasn’t arrested, breathalyzed, or anything. I got thrown into quarantine with him, and flagged for investigation. They took us in to make statements, which I declined because regardless of what I say they won’t listen to me, and I’m not going to sit there and try and prove I’m innocent, it’s their job to prove I’m guilty. Here I am months later got my hearing coming up this week, he got the full 45-45 all that stuff, and I’m sitting here wondering, what’s going to happen to me? I’m being pinned with an HPCON violation, but, I wasn’t arrested or anything. Is it possible that when I have my hearing they will tell me they don’t have evidence against me therefore no punishment can be issued? I’m not experienced in this, I’ve never been in trouble I’ve never had 1 negative counseling, all my leadership can back me up about my good conduct, work ethic and character. (Officers included) can they still hit me with a 45-45 reduced to E1 all that without anything even placing me at the scene? It just seems a bit crooked to me.
