Child Support, DNA and the Case of the Colonels
Thursday / October 04, 2007
An Army Colonel gives a DNA sample for his buddy,
another Army Colonel, but both get caught.
We've previously warned, "Get a DNA Test Fast if You Think
You're Not the Dad!" But you're supposed to
use your own DNA for the test - especially if
you are an Army Colonel being groomed for higher
command at the Army War College.
Here's what happened, according to WGAL.com: Col. Scott Carlson had been making child support payments for nine years to a woman who was not his wife. When the woman requested an increase in child support, Col. Carlson went to the domestic relations office to deny paternity. The domestic relations office told him he would have to prove that he was not the father by submitting a DNA sample.
Knowing full well he was the father, Col. Carlson talked his buddy and fellow student - Col. Bruce Adkins - into submitting his DNA instead. Col. Adkins went to the domestic relations office about a month after Col. Carlson had been there. The two got caught when the domestic relations office staff noticed that Col. Adkins didn't look much like Col. Carlson. Both men are facing criminal charges.
Colonel is a very high rank, only one step below general. Just think, these two jokers might have wound up being generals if they weren't convinced they were twins.
