Result LSD possession and distribution resolved at Article 15.

In November 2019, an Army Private stationed at Ft. Sill found himself embroiled in a legal matter concerning LSD. He was under investigation for his alleged involvement in activities related to LSD, including accusations of providing a false official statement and destroying evidence.

Faced with these serious charges, the Private sought the representation of an Article 112 UCMJ military drug crime attorney, Tim Bilecki. Bilecki’s team engaged in proactive legal maneuvers to prevent the escalation of the case to a court martial.

Through strategic negotiations, they reached an agreement with the military prosecution. This deal entailed handling the allegations through an Article 15 proceeding — a form of non-judicial punishment within the military justice system.
