Washington, D.C. – A spokesman for the U.S. Army denied some national media reports yesterday that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl will be charged with desertion. U.S. Senator Jim Risch was told Tuesday by Army officials that no decision has been made and the case is still being reviewed.

Hailey native Bowe Bergdahl walked away from his base June 30, 2009 while deployed in Afghanistan where he was captured by the Taliban. He was held captive for five years before being released through a controversial prisoner exchange last year.
