"The medics always have the best drugs!" - Matt Damon in Courage Under Fire (Yahoo Movies)

From Stars and Stripes, this article about an Air Force Captain in Germany who has skipped town facing a court martial for taking a little too much from the medicine cart:

Air Force investigators are looking for an officer they suspect skipped town to avoid a court-martial on drug charges, an Air Force spokesman said.

Capt. Michael Anthony Kaczorowski has been missing since Aug. 15, when he didn’t report to work, base spokesman Capt. Tom Crosson said Thursday. Kaczorowski, 38, is a clinical nurse assigned to the 52nd Medical Operations Group, which serves Spangdahlem Air Base.

Investigators believe that Kaczorowski may have left due to his upcoming court-martial, but they aren’t certain and probably won’t know until they find him and talk to him, Crosson said.

He was scheduled to face a court-martial in October on charges of wrongful use of a controlled substance. He now could face an additional charge of flight to avoid prosecution, but Air Force officials are more concerned about finding why he went missing.

“At this stage, we just want to get him back,” Crosson said. “We want to make sure he’s OK, that he’s safe.”

You gotta love those flyboys...they really know how to screw up. Before, he was probably just facing a GOMOR and a dismissal. Now, he's looking at hard time. Hope stealing from the medicine cart was worth it.
