Drill instructor murdered with drill in hilarious prank

Filed · 1551

FORT BENNING, Ga. – An Army recruit is in Military Police custody after a jovial prank hilariously took the life of his drill sergeant, sources confirm.

Rodney Tillman, a native of Davenport, Iowa, is being charged with first-degree murder after Military Police Officers found the body of Sergeant Eddie Munoz, a drill instructor with 15 years in the Army and 3 breezy holes in his head.

In an interview from a jail telephone, Tillman stated that he concocted the idea for the uproarious prank after realizing that the drill instructor wasn’t, in fact, instructing anyone on how to use a drill.

He added that he believed he had come up with the most hilarious gag the Army had ever seen.
