Joshua King, an Army sergeant stationed at Fort Carson, opted for the “green to orange program” with his unauthorized possession of a block of C4. King, in the process of a divorce, did not factor in the fact that the home would be cleaned out and that someone would run into this C4. That someone turned out to be his wife. King’s wife mentioned that the “unauthorized acquisition” of the C4 came after her father gave them a retired explosives detection canine. King’s ex also said that King showed her pictures of the block of C4 that he took from Fort Carson.<\/p>\n

Joshua King is charged with possession, use, or removal of explosive devices after his wife alleges she found a block of C4 explosive among his things. King is a sergeant in the 588th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 4, the regional explosives unit responded to a home in the 700 block of Sableglen Court after a woman called and said a Ft. Carson soldier took C4 off post back to his home.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement said his wife told law enforcement she and Joshua were going through a divorce. She said she was cleaning out the home when she found the C4 in a small wooden dresser in the garage.<\/p>\n

Special agents with the FBI and the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division responded to the home. Those agents say they saw and photographed the C4 which appeared to be in its original packaging.<\/p>\n

His wife told investigators that he allegedly brought home the plastic explosive shortly after her father gave them a retired explosives detection canine. She said Joshua had told her not to tell anyone that he brought the C4 home from Ft. Carson. At the time, she said she didn’t realize exactly what C4 was.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
