Drug-sniffing dogs were called to the Pine
Bluff Arsenal after ten National Guardsmen assigned to a security
detail tested positive for drug use.
Arsenal leaders were notified this week that ten soldiers tested
positive for drug use during a random urinalysis November Fourth.
Eight of the soldiers tested positive for cocaine and two for
marijuana.
The ten soldiers were relieved of their duties.
An arsenal spokeswoman says a sweep by the dog teams was
inconclusive. And Pine Bluff police say no drugs were found in a
routine check of soldiers barracks.
A unit of the Criminal Investigation Division from Fort Polk,
Louisiana, is expected to arrive at the arsenal Monday to
investigate the matter further.
