FORT CARSON — A soldier facing a rape charge told his family that he didn’t commit the crime and was taking the blame for somebody else shortly before he jumped to his death.
Pvt. Tommie Edward Jones jumped off an interstate overpass to his death March 25.
Fort Carson spokesman Maj. Sean Ryan said Monday that Jones, 27, was scheduled for a hearing that day.
The alleged crimes happened on Feb. 11, 2007.
