He was sentenced to be discharged with a Bad Conduct Discharge; confinement for six months; and forfeiture of $413.00 pay per month for six months. On 1 February 1985, the sentence was approved. The record of trial was forwarded to The Judge Advocate General of The Army for review by The Court of Military Review. On 13 May 1985, the United States Army Court of Military Review affirmed the approved findings of guilty and the sentence. On
25 February 1986, the sentence having been affirmed pursuant to Article 71 © having been complied with; the sentence was ordered to be executed.
