November’s court martial results are just another month with typical stuff you see every month on the blotter: credit card fraud, minor assault, an attempted rape, along with the last of the percocet gang being sentenced. Something interesting in the Korean court results I found interesting was that Private Dustin Roper of Beauty Shop Bandit fame and of a scuffle in downtown Dongducheon received a 4,000,000 won punishment for the altercation.

I take this relatively light punishment as meaning that Roper probably didn’t start the fight considering how the prosecution was seeking a jail term for him. His battle buddy PFC Roy Anderson who appeared to be a victim of assault may have had no charges brought against him considering there was no court results for him, unless the Korean courts are waiting to try him in December.

Another thing I noticed from the Korean court results is that yet another DUI happened last month. That makes eleven DUI convictions in eight months. That is not good and it is something you cannot blame on young enlisted soldiers because the vast majority of the DUIs are from senior leaders with November’s DUI coming from a Chief Warrant Officer 2. The DUIs are a ticking time bomb and if God forbid one of them ends in a fatal accident you can expect the Korean media will look at these DUI stats from this year and compare them to what USFK did to prevent them.
