Murray, KY – The U.S. Army has charged an Alaska-based soldier from Kentucky with attempted espionage. Specialist William Colton Millay of Owensboro was charged Monday through the military justice system. Army officials say no information was ever transmitted by Millay and the 22-year-old military police officer was being observed before any damage could have occurred. Officials say there is no connection with the case involving Army analyst Bradley Manning, suspected of disclosing secret intelligence to WikiLeaks. Millay's October 28th arrest stems from a joint Army/FBI investigation. Millay is assigned to the 164th Military Police Company. Most company members were deployed Afghanistan in March. However, Millay's detachment stayed behind.
