Successful Titling Removal

An officer was accused of committing travel fraud after he provided what he thought was an official weigh station weight ticket. At the weigh station, an unauthorized person provided a blank weigh ticket and told the officer to complete the weigh ticket on their own. The officer reported this irregularity to the travel office processing the travel voucher; however, an unknown individual reported the officer to a military criminal investigative organization (MCIO) who titled the officer with travel fraud. After a 6-month investigation and a review of every other travel voucher the officer previously submitted, the command judge advocate determined there was no probable cause. The MCIO denied the request to remove the titling because they “believed the officer committed travel fraud.” MNB Meridian Law attorneys appealed to the BCMR and the board granted relief, directing removal of the titling from all DoD and DoJ databases.
