More than a dozen soldiers were reportedly questioned last week as part of a drug investigation at Fort Bragg.
Military leaders at the Army base, located in central North Carolina, confirmed they questioned soldiers assigned to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command unit after allegations of illegal drug activity surfaced, according to Raleigh-based outlet WRAL News.
Two soldiers were cleared immediately, the news station added. The other 13 asked for attorneys and, as of Monday afternoon, continued to be questioned by the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division. No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.
Special Ops did not specify if the soldiers are being investigated for illegally using drugs, selling drugs, or both.
