WASHINGTON - Following yesterday's tragic events in Texas,
the Department of Defense has requested the DoD Inspector General in concert
with the Air Force to review the handling of criminal records in the case of
former Airman Devin P. Kelley after his 2012 domestic violence convictions.
Kelley was found guilty by a general court martial on two
charges of domestic assault against his wife and stepson under the Uniform Code
of Military Justice. He was sentenced to 12 months confinement at Naval
Consolidated Brig Miramar in California before being released with a Bad
Conduct Discharge and reduction in grade to E-1.
In addition to a comprehensive review directed by Secretary
of the Air Force Heather Wilson and Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David
Goldfein, the DoD IG will initiate an investigation to determine whether
information about Kelley's conviction was properly entered into the National
Criminal Information Center database.
The DoD IG will also review relevant policies and procedures to ensure
records from other cases across DoD have been reported correctly.
