12 Coast Guard members face charges in Alaska drug probe

KODIAK, ALASKA (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard has initiated criminal proceedings against 12 service members following an investigation into possible drug activity on Alaska’s Kodiak Island.

The agency removed several members in Kodiak from duty last fall as investigators examined allegations of members using illegal drugs, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Tuesday.

Six more members were disciplined in nonjudicial punishment proceedings, and they are “being processed for separation,” the agency said in a statement.

The nonjudicial process does not result in criminal convictions, but could lead to punishments ranging from loss of pay to suspension, said Lt. Cmdr. Raymond Reichl, external affairs officer
