Bowe Bergdahl, Once Missing American Soldier, Found During Mendocino Marijuana Raid
Reprint courtesy of the Anderson Valley Advertiser:
BOWE BERGDAHL, the once-missing U.S. soldier in Afghanistan released in a prisoner exchange and later accused of desertion, was an unexpected visitor in Mendocino County this week. He was visiting old friends when the local dope team arrived on a marijuana raid. Bergdahl, who is awaiting military court martial, had an Army pass allowing him to be in Mendocino County. He apparently had no connection to the dope grow. Still military authorities were notified, and after calls “all the way up to the Pentagon,” he was turned over a military escort who came to Ukiah to fetch him.
SHERIFF TOM ALLMAN CONFIRMED Thursday morning that Sgt. Bergdahl was indeed in Mendocino County on Tuesday morning when the County’s drug task force raided a property on Tomki Road, Redwood Valley. Bergdahl, who is on active duty while he awaits his court martial, “was not involved” in the marijuana operation, the Sheriff said, adding that Bergdahl was “above politeness” as several people from the home where Bergdahl was visiting were taken into custody. The Sheriff said Bergdahl had “readily produced his military ID.” Instantly aware that the Sgt. was a high profile person, the Sheriff’s Department quickly confirmed that Bergdahl was on an authorized leave to visit friends in Northern California and uninvolved with marijuana production.
BERGDAHL had arrived last Friday at the remote property 7 miles northeast of central Redwood Valley, and was scheduled to return to the East Coast on Wednesday. He was not arrested. At the Pentagon’s request, the combat veteran was transported by the Sheriff’s Department to Santa Rosa where he was met by an Army major who was to accompany Bergdahl to his duty station near Washington.

Well if that dont beet all…sgt bird dog all the way out here to visit us
Glad he’s gone!!!
Is that a pic from today?
No doubt its been a lively decade for that guy
Ill bet this makes the national spot light. It took “a lot” to get this guy freed and here he is thumbing his nose at the fed govt hanging out on pot farms. Yahoo will have his pic w a pot leaf behind it.
Im gonna go out on limb and assume this guy is just followed by a shit storm everywhere he goes. Not a lucky guy by any stretch of the imagination.
Got to wonder does marijuana make him look bad or does he make marijuana look bad. Probably both.
Well, if he visit friends anywhere in th Emerald Triangle he won’t be too far from a marinuana plant.
That didnt take long.

faux news has it
So if one of “us” non military people are at a pot farm…will we be free also..if we are not involved..but just visiting????
Yes, it has happen before and will again.
Great recruiting tool. Treason? Desertion? Drug arrest? No problem.
Homosexuals? Transvestites? Bisexuals? Transsexuals? It’s all good.
Obasha’s military. Honorable discharges guaranteed.
Al Jazeera and now Bergdahl.
haha *waves*
What a week so far.
One article stated he was not arrested at the request of the pentagon.
The CIA put him there to make cannabis look even worse.
Its good for ptsd
On target,
Sgt Bird Dog(bet BERGDAHL has had to endure that nick for a while) probably has PTSD on a somewhat more intense scale than any party to this discussion given his history ,
It makes perfect sense he would just go straight to the source and attempt to find the best meds possible and for him that would seem to be Mendocino(besides which he may actually have friends in the area,we just dont know)..
Just piss poor luck that he was in time for the raids..
feckless
ps there is a boatload of folk who use medical cannabis for anxiety/ptsd/etc..
you dont want to walk a mile in their shoes..:(
Another “just happened to walk into the wrong place at the wrong time” ? Again? Don’t believe it for a second! He knew exactly where he was going – both times. Treasoness bastard. Hang him.
