West Point cadet dismissed from Army after drug probe

Kimberly Redmond  April 10, 2017

WEST POINT - A West Point cadet was dismissed from the Army after a military judge convicted him of dealing prescription pills while attending the U.S. Military Academy.

During court martial proceedings Monday, Tevin Long was also sentenced to 30 days confinement and ordered forfeiture of pay, the academy announced.

He was found guilty of wrongful possession and wrongful distribution of the controlled dangerous substances Alprazolam, an anxiety medication, and Oxycodone, a painkiller, the academy said.

The Richmond, Texas, native was due to graduate this year and has been on administrative leave since the probe began in the fall.

"Cadet Long's behavior is inconsistent with the values of the military academy," the academy's spokeswoman said in a statement issued Monday evening. "The actions in this case were found to be in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the standards of conduct in the U.S. Army."

What the hell are kids up to these days when they are involved in drug probes. Back in my day we smoked, ingested or snorted drugs. Now they are using probes as a delivery system? WTF?
