Veterans call on Trump, Hegseth to order military to fix false arrest records
Col. David Garcia thought his problems were over after a military board concluded that allegations he had created a hostile work environment were unfounded and recommended he retain his job in the U.S. Army.
Instead, his FBI background check reads that he was arrested for "abusive sexual contact" and Garcia said he is at risk of being forced out of the Army if the error isn't fixed by Aug. 1.
"I was never handcuffed. I wasn't tossed in the back of a squad car, [or] read my Miranda rights," Garcia told Fox News Digital. "So why did I show up as having been arrested?"
Garcia is among the unknown number of soldiers and veterans stuck in a bureaucratic twilight zone, leaving them with a false arrest record, which can result in missed employment opportunities, the denial of firearms permits, and more.
