Re: Williston Barracks / Operating without owners consent (x3)
Just wanted to clarify that the date/time of the incident says April 11th at approximately 1901 hours, whereas the summary says May 5th at approximately 1901 hours. I am assuming this happened on the latter but wanted to double-check. Thank you!
