APPLE VALLEY, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities in Apple Valley, California, say a 101st Airborne Division soldier trying to avoid deployment to Iraq had a friend shoot him in the leg and then claimed he'd been wounded in a holdup.
Police said Army Pfc. Matthew John Myers of Apple Valley limped into a minimart about 9:30 p.m. Sunday and reported he had been walking on a golf course when a gunman stole his wallet and military identification and shot him in the right thigh.
A helicopter search failed to find a robber and San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies became suspicious of the story because they could not find a blood trail or any shell casings and Myers could not describe the attacker.
No one has been arrested but the matter will be turned over to prosecutors.
