I told them they were stupid to even think about such a thing. Well they had the cab pull over in a dark spot,I said no you guys are crazy. Anyway I stopped that cab from getting robbed that night.but took off running ,cause i was scared. I made it back to the barracks where i was staying. Later the two sailors came in. I was yelling at them how f-ing crazy and stupid they were .and thanked them for getting me involved. The next day i was hoping for an early flight to my ship, it didn't happen. These two sailors asked if i wanted to hit the town with them, I turned them down . Well that night or the next morning i didn't see these guys in the barracks. I went to the chow hall for breakfast then went back to the barracks i was in. Then i seen the MP's comming in the barracks with some guys in suits. They were asking for me. I went down to the NCIS office on base, where i was told i was being arrested for attempt of robery of a cab driver the night before.
The rest is history as i spent !2 months in the navel brigg on base in pretrial confinment for the Spanish government. And after my trial how i spent 13 months in Cadiz prison in Cadiz Spain a waiting my appeal.
My appeal went through , reduction of charges to accessory before and after the fact. «View Less
I am hoping to find a publisher for my Biography. I am not sure about self publishing. I've been told that i have a great story to tell. The book is all written, except it needs to be professionaly edited with grammer changes. I am not a writer , but just a man with a story to tell.
