Roger T. McDuffie<\/a> was on a temporary assignment in Colombia with several other Marines.

A final determination over the fate of McDuffie\u2019s career will be made by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/breaking-news\/2017\/08\/01\/new-navy-secretary-seven-other-top-dod-officials-confirmed-by-senate\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Secretary of the Navy<\/a> Richard V. Spencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aaron Meyer, an attorney representing McDuffie, claims that the colonel was drugged at a bar and grill commonly frequented by U.S. embassy staff, the Herald reported. The night resulted in the slew of bad decisions, including heavy drinking, prostitutes and visiting areas off limits to military personnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the drugging, Meyer argued, McDuffie was not legally responsible for his actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two other Marines involved in the incident were also investigated. Marine Maj. Andrew L. Mueller was found guilty of Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 92 regarding dereliction of duty, but it was recommended he be retained, according to the Herald. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maj.
