The U.S. Army says a court-martial has been scheduled for a New Hampshire National Guard officer who is expected to be charged with assault and sexual harassment. Lt. Col. Mark Patterson led a battalion serving on the southern U.S. border. An Army North spokesperson said Sunday that in January, the Army started an investigation and reassigned Patterson to staff officer. The spokesperson says the investigation concluded in May and Patterson is expected to be charged with assault consummated by a battery, sexual harassment and other charges. Patterson's lawyer says “not everything is as it appears,” and that some people are not telling the complete truth.
