Drug test clouds airman’s status

Ronald Webb tested positive in a drug test in July, but was not charged until three months later. In the meantime, he left the Air Force, unaware that the JAG office at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., had put a hold on his discharge.

Ronald Webb thought he was done with the Air Force.

He started his life as a civilian in Michigan in late October. He found a place for his wife and kids, who live in England, and boarded a plane Dec. 7 to bring them home.

Then he got called off the plane.

A group of customs officials met him at the top of the jet way and told him he was under arrest for desertion.

When the hand cuffs went on, Webb found out the Air Force wasn’t done with him.

2. He "popped a urine test for methamphetamines".

That's in the article.

3. Which doesn't prove anything

I can easily think of several legal drugs that give a false positive. Hell, when I was in they gave me 3 different drugs that would have me flunking a piss test.

the "drug"was not just pot. meth is dangerous...i hope he comes out of this o.k.
