A Marine apprehended on Friday after allegedly fleeing from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, has been charged with robbery in a civilian court, said Courtney Last, of the New Hanover County District Attorney’s Office.
Lance Cpl. Shawn Michael Miller faces charges in Pender County, North Carolina, of robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon in connection with an Aug. 10 incident, Last told Task & Purpose on Monday.
The District attorney’s office declined to provide any more information about the case, Last said. Miller is currently a field artillery cannoneer assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, according to the 2nd Marine Division.
