Prior to his release from the brig on Tuesday, Scheller had yet to be charged with a specific violation of the UCMJ. However, the Lieutenant Colonel has since been formally charged with 6 violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and has been referred to a special court-martial. The charges he faces include contempt toward officials (Article 88), disrespect toward superior commissioned officers (Article 89), willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer (Article 90), dereliction in the performance of duties and failure to obey an order or regulation (Article 92), and conduct unbecoming of an officer (Article 133).
