Marine Raider Gets 4 Years in Hazing Case That Left Green Beret Dead
7 Jun 2019
The Virginian-Pilot | By Courtney Mabeus
NORFOLK -- It started as a joke in a nightclub. Hours later, after a Green Beret died while being hazed by members of the elite special operations community, it turned into an elaborate cover-up.
Now, a Camp Lejeune, N.C.-based Marine Raider will spend four years in confinement for his role in the June 4, 2017, early morning death of Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar while deployed in Bamako, Mali.
During questioning by Navy prosecutor Lt. Cmdr. Benjamin Garcia, Maxwell also said there had been a plan to sexually assault Melgar but he did not elaborate. He also said he was responsible for destroying a SIM card from a phone that may have contained video.
