Marines pick up AWOL member in Clallam County

PORT ANGELES — A Marine escort picked up Lance Cpl. Lance Hering at the Clallam County jail at 9:15 a.m. today to take the AWOL Marine to Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, Calif., Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict confirmed.

Port Angeles police officers arrested Lance Cpl. Hering — who may face desertion charges after staging his disappearance in Colorado and spending 26 months in hiding — last Sunday at William R. Fairchild International Airport in Port Angeles.

A $5,000 bail was posted for Hering on Thursday for a being a fugitive from another state. Boulder, Colo., had a warrant for Hering for a parole violation.

Posting bail cleared the way for Hering to be taken into military custody.
