Soldiers beat thief for breaking into Commandants house

While the Bachelors fell prey to their attackers, a thief who made the mistake of breaking into the B.D.F. Commandant’s house, at Price Barracks will be charged for his crime… after he gets out of the hospital, that is. Brigadier General Lloyd Gillett reported to police that he woke up around four this morning and discovered a man, later identified as Mike Godoy, in his living room. The Commandant grabbed a machete and chased Godoy, who ran into the bushes. A search party was organised and Godoy was found almost two hours later. In his possession were three metal coins taken from the Brigadier General’s home. Godoy got a good thrashing from the soldiers and was then turned over to police, who turned him over to the doctor. He will be charged with burglary when he is released from the hospital.
