Medal of Honor Winner Jailed for Probation Violation
Medal of Honor recipient Richard Penry, 27, was ordered jailed for eight months in Sonoma County for violating probation on a drug conviction after police found marijuana and hashish in his home. Judge Joseph Murphy spared prison due to a girlfriend's testimony that the drugs were hers, but ruled the association with a drug user violated probation. Penry earned the Medal of Honor for saving a company commander's life and halting an attack in Vietnam.
