SAN DIEGO — A months-long investigation led by a Camp Pendleton-based military official has led to the arrest of a Marine accused of bribing contractors in Iraq.
Officials say the Marine Corps filed four charges of bribery and graft Thursday against Camp Lejeune-based Master Sgt. Terence O. Walton for wrongfully accepting money and other gifts.
Walton served in a contracting office in Fallujah from February 2005 to January 2006.
Marine spokesman Lt. Col. David Griesmer refused to specify what Walton is alleged to have received or to name any contractors tied to the case.
Camp Lejeune did not immediately respond Saturday to an emailed request to reach Walton or his lawyer.
The case is being overseen by Camp Pendleton’s Lt. Gen. Samuel Helland, who leads Marine Corps forces in the Middle East.
