US NM: MDC Officer Lost His Job Over Medical Marijuana

Albuquerque Journal, 17 Jun 2013 – Oh, the stories Augustine Stanley could tell. Awful, harrowing stories from his nearly yearlong deployment in 2004 to Iraq as an Army Reserve convoy security specialist for the 644th Transportation Company. Awful, harrowing stories from his 13 years as a corrections officer at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque. He doesn’t pick the easy jobs. But the story Stanley tells these days is how his experience with the former indirectly affected the latter and how it all went up in smoke.
