A U.S. Military Academy at West Point colonel will be arraigned again for misconduct charges similar to ones that were dropped twice before, according to West Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Col. William Wright previously faced charges in 2024 over allegations that he drank with a cadet, tampered with witnesses and falsified information, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Wright is charged with violating the Army\u2019s trainer-trainee policy, interfering with an adverse administrative proceeding and making a false official statement, according to a statement from the West Point Directorate of Communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wright \u2014 who served as director of the academy\u2019s geospatial information science program \u2014 was arraigned previously on Dec. 2, 2024, for three counts of failure to obey order or regulation, two counts of making false official statements and three counts of wrongful interference with an adverse administrative proceeding, according to an Army court docket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial that was set to begin Jan. 6, 2025. But the charges were dropped on Jan. 2, according to Stars & Stripes<\/a>, which was the first to report the third round of charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Point did not provide an arraignment date for the new round of charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
