AUGUSTA, GA — The spouse of a Ft. Gordon soldier is breathing easier after a military police officer removed a Doritos bag from its head.

Several witnesses reported to law enforcement officials that they saw the spouse wandering on lawns in base housing with a family-sized Doritos bag over its head and flailing its arms.

"I tried to run over to help," said Sergeant First Class Tom Wilkins, an area resident, "but it disappeared into the woods before I could get there."

The spouse was spotted later in the day in the PX parking lot by a worker out collecting shopping carts.
