Despite switching urine samples, soldier still tests positive for drugs

Filed · 1540

FORT CARSON, Colo. — Spc. Sam DeLoach has been charged with thirty-two counts of illegal possession and use of controlled narcotics, but has asked a military judge to dismiss the charges because the urine is not actually his own, according to his attorney.

“Jenna Beerly gave me her piss because I had been smoking weed," DeLoach said in a written statement. "Just ask her.”

DeLoach, an outspoken marijuana advocate, was randomly selected for the ninth consecutive time to take the urinalysis test last Monday.

“Do a DNA test on the pee or whatever, but don’t send me to jail for no ten years, man!” his statement concluded.
