The first charges against one of the soldiers arrested in the underground nightclub in Colorado Springs is public...

An Army soldier who was arrested as part of a raid on an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, last week is suspected of possessing and distributing cocaine while also trafficking firearms with high-capacity magazines to illegal aliens, according to a criminal complaint.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced Thursday that 28-year-old Staff Sgt. Juan Gabriel Orona-Rodriguez has been charged with a single count each of distribution of and possession with intent to distribute cocaine and conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on Wednesday, the criminal complaint alleges that Orona-Rodriguez sold cocaine to an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent the week of April 21.

That answers a few questions we had, but raises quite a few more... An article, HERE from the Colorado Springs Gazette has a few more answers.

The staff sergeant had apparently been told the company was off limits, and he did not have permission to work a second job, according to reports. One wonders how many of the other Army personnel were in the same boat?

And why did their command let them get away with it? Fort Carson has been in the news for other issues in the last year, including questions about their food service, command climate, and 'internal' issues.

I guess now there will also be a CID investigation into dope dealing on base, to add to all the digging they will be doing into the other 16 Army soldiers there...

One also wonders about the staff sergeant's background and how he got hooked up with the gangs associated with the underground nightclub. And whether we will ever know the truth, or whether it will be buried.

Not like that hasn't happened before...
