COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Fort Carson soldiers accused of breaking into a medical marijuana dispensary in Colorado Springs told police they planned to destroy the marijuana—not smoke or sell it.
The Gazette reports that a police affidavit says two of the three suspects told police they were trying to get rid of the marijuana.
Police say the three were arrested Nov. 13 on second-degree burglary charges after they accidentally locked themselves in dispensary during a burglary attempt. Officers say they were on an unrelated call around 2 a.m. when they heard someone banging on glass inside the dispensary.
The soldiers are 23-year-old Pfc. Darius Thomas, 22-year-old Pvt. Cory Young and 22-year-old Pfc. Ramone Hollins.
