FORT BRAGG, N.C. — An Army paratrooper charged after he helped subdue a fellow soldier who later died has agreed to a plea bargain that could give him 30 days in jail and dock his pay.
Spc. Joseph Misuraca of Harper Woods, Mich., was the fourth soldier to make a deal in to charges following the death of Pfc. Luke Brown last year, The Fayetteville Observer reported Friday. Seven soldiers originally were charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Brown, 27, of Fredericksburg, Va., died after a night of drinking with men from his 82nd Airborne Division unit.
Witnesses said Brown ran wildly from the bar into nearby woods, where his fellow soldiers punched, kicked and choked him into submission. He died after returning to their Fort Bragg barracks.
