violation of Article 82, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ);
- one specification of desertion, in violation of Article 85, UCMJ;

Some kind of plea bargain seems now almost certain. He'll be charged with desertion and Japan will have to hand him over under the terms of the SOFA. Much will depend on how sick is really is... he certainly is an alcoholic chain-smoker.
