An Army Lieutenant Colonel at Tripler Army Medical Center was accused of fraudulently obtaining about 1,000 oxycodone pills and possessing them unlawfully.
Tim Bilecki took the case through the Article 32 hearing and negotiated dismissal of the criminal charges in exchange for the officer’s resignation.
The defense compared the prescription and dispensing records with the Government’s pill count and showed that part of the alleged misconduct arose from disputed medical authorization rather than a straightforward theft of medication.
The officer resigned. The criminal charges were dropped. That was the resolution Bilecki secured.
Prior results do not predict future outcomes.
