AWOL case closed; no Article 32

BAUMHOLDER, Germany — The desertion case against Capt. Robert Przybylski, an infantryman who mysteriously went absent without leave several months before his unit deployed to Iraq, has been resolved, according to V Corps.

"The case was investigated. The commanding general adjudicated the case and took appropriate action," said V Corps spokeswoman Hilde Patton in a prepared statement.

Patton, however, would not elaborate on what constituted "appropriate action," saying the situation was a personnel matter.

On Oct. 10, the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division company commander inexplicably went AWOL, perplexing local authorities who launched a series of radio and TV announcements on American Forces Network in the hope of persuading the captain to return home.

On Nov. 9, Przybylski turned himself in and was charged by authorities with desertion.
