Sergeant First Class Shantaya Williams, a decorated 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army and Army Reserve, has been charged with going AWOL because a human resources technician refused a transfer to a similar role in Virginia.
It's a story of a violent police raid on a North Texas home to arrest an Army soldier for going AWOL.
But that woman, Sergeant First Class Shantaya Williams, has a clean record according to her attorney. Williams is also an Iraqi War veteran, now charged with going AWOL because a human resources technician refused a transfer to a similar role in Virginia. "It's almost always handled administratively," he said."They do prosecute if somebody misses movement. If they miss a ship or a plane to a combat zone. I have several clients who, without breaking client privilege, are ethnic groups white male or Hispanic who don't get this kind of treatment."
