FORT LIBERTY — A Laurinburg man has been charged in December 2020 slayings of a Special Forces soldier and a veteran whose bodies were found at Fort Liberty.


In a news release Friday, U.S. Attorney Michael Easley said that Kenneth Maurice Quick Jr., 23, was indicted Aug. 1 on charges including murder, conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, firearm and obstruction charges and two counts of the use of a firearm causing death.

It is VERY rare for a Master Sergeant (E-8) to be accused of dealing drugs. Especially a SF MSG.

The closest memory I have of something like this was a senior NCO in SF being arrested for bank robbery back in the 60's. IIRC,he was robbing a bank to get the money to keep his 20 year old girlfriend happy.
