Robert Brummel’s troubles began even before he left the Army in 2010. Then things went downhill when he became a civilian.
“It was all alcohol and drug abuse because of certain things that were going on,” he recalls. “Marriage issues. Divorce. Yeah, homeless.”
And the 30-year-old Fenton resident can quickly rattle off the offenses that landed him in the criminal justice system: a third DWI, child endangerment, possession of a chemical substance with intent to alter and manufacture crystal meth.
Then, his public defender referred Brummel to the new veterans treatment court in Jefferson County, and he says what had been a growing nightmare became “amazing. I couldn’t ask for anything better.
“Everybody is here to help. They’re very nice, and as long as you’re honest and do what they ask, good things will happen.”
