New Jersey veterans often encounter challenges when they return home from deployment overseas. Especially if they've faced combat, the sudden change in circumstances and return to daily living can be a shock to their systems. A U.S. marine in another state served in Afghanistan, but he was totally unprepared for the unfortunate events that unfolded after he came home. Even though he was born in the United States, the man was arrested by immigration officers and threatened with deportation.
The situation unfolded after an initial incident at a hospital where the military veteran was arrested for trespassing on a heliport at the medical facility. The young man suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, and his family says he often disappears and has no memory of where he's been or what he's done once he is located. He pleaded guilty to the trespassing charge, and his release from jail was secured.
