NORFOLK, Va. Chief Special Warfare Operator Tony DeDolph, one of four servicemembers charged with the strangulation death of Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar, will plead guilty to some charges related to the crime, according to his lawyer.
Military Defender Phil Stackhouse said Tuesday that DeDolph, a member of SEAL Team 6, had entered into an agreement with Rear Admiral Charles Rock, USN, to resolve his pending charges.
DeDolph was charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter, hazing and obstruction of justice after the death of Melgar in June 2017. Melgar was a 34-year-old U.S. Army Green Beret who was stationed in Mali.
