A submarine officer based in the state of Washington was found not guilty at a court-martial trial last week on stalking, assault and other charges, Navy officials confirmed Monday.
Lt. Cmdr. Joshua Q. McCright, assigned to the ballistic missile submarine Nebraska, faced a variety of charges when he was arraigned in January, including housebreaking, unlawful entry and battery.
But at the officer’s court-martial at Naval Base Kitsap Thursday, a military jury found him not guilty on all charges, according to spokesman Joseph Kubistek.
