Judge Sentences Zachary Lambert To Join the Army
A college student at Faulkner University posted on his Facebook wall that he might try to outdo the Virgina Tech shootings of 2007. This lead to a campus lock down, his arrest, and now his enlistment in the Army.
Alabama. To answer the question rolling around in your head.
The Montgomery Advertiser says that Zachary Lambert, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charge of harassing communications. So the judge sentenced him to join the Army and do community service.
In announcing her sentence, Montgomery County Circuit Judge Tracy McCooey told Lambert:
“You are going into the military. That is not a choice.”
Lambert seemingly is OK with this forced conscription into the military because he talked with the recruiter who said he probably would be able to enlist. He would have to serve his probation first.
The judge, who says she is a ”military brat,” indicated she could change the sentence if Lambert really makes ”good faith effort” to becoming a fighting man.

UPDATE: the newspaper got it wrong, the judge didn’t sentence him to join, she just indicated that making an attempt to join was part of his probation.
