Soldier Went From 'Role Model to Scum'

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

FORT WORTH, Texas - Twelve months and eight days ago, Sgt. Clarence Hodge thought he had all he wanted.

He had 19 years in the Army National Guard. He enjoyed his active-duty assignment on the Mexican border, intercepting drugs and illegal immigrants. He had a great job with Delta Air Lines, close friends, a wife, two daughters.

Then he lost it all, the moment U.S. Border Patrol agents showed up at his Laredo checkpoint on June 7, 2007, put him in handcuffs, and read him his Miranda rights.

But Hodge, a Fort Worth native now serving time in a federal prison, knew that wasn't when he really lost his freedom. He took it away, all on his own, several weeks before he got arrested.

Hodge's final bill came due in February, when U.S. District Judge George P. Kazen sentenced him to 38 months in prison for his role in an illegal-immigrant smuggling ring operated by three National Guard buddies assigned to a high-profile effort to secure the border.

1. This guy is fucking delisional.

From the article.... "I took a chance and got bit," he said. "I always wanted to do the right thing and get by the honest way. Until now. And I'm paying for it."


Taking a chance is a whirlwind romance or taking out a Heloc loan to start a new business.... Not starting a human smuggling ring you stupid fuck.

What an asshole.
