J.R. Majewski's military record has once again come under scrutiny as new records show a more serious reason for his demotion in the US military.
According to records reviewed by The Associated Press, Majewski was not demoted and could not re-enlist due to a brawl. The records show that he was arrested for drunk driving in Japan.
According to the records, Majewski was demoted to one position below his role on September 8, 2001 and remained in that position for four years.
When you decided to get behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming alcohol, you physically control a vehicle, to wit: passenger car, while drunk.
Majewski's campaign did not reply immediately. His campaign told The Associated Press last week that he had been demoted for a fight.
The mistake is more than two decades old. Majewski told the AP on Wednesday that he was sure his parents and grandparents shared the same feelings of looking back on something as a young adult and wondering what was going on.
He did not reply immediately.
Insider reported in August that Majewski had violated a federal law by concealing his personal finances. At a rally last Friday, Majewski responded to an Associated Press report that showed that he had lied about his service in Afghanistan, saying that he had access to top- secret documents.
Majewski told his supporters that all of his deployment were listed as classified.
