Everything I've read depicts this guy as a drunk loud mouth that liked to pick fights with South Koreans. Is that the kind of thing an Article 15 is used for, as opposed to a court martial? I don't know how this stuff works.

Yeah, I figured it was likely he was a shithead. I mean anyone who would defect to North Korea rather than have a week of punishment duty and being transferred away is pretty stupid. If he was facing a long term in military prison then maybe being a pet American in North Korea would be a better option, but he's fleeing putting up with poo poo for a while. Not a good time, but better than sixty years in North Korea.

Article 15 is generally offered as an option to a US service member accused of a crime, where the other alternative is court martial. If the suspect chooses the court martial, they waive their right to a trial, and instead allow their commanding officer to investigate, determine if they're guilty, and assign a punishment. By choosing the Article 15, the accused will generally get a lesser punishment than if they were convicted at court martial trial.

Nonjudicial punishment under Article 15 also has some caps on how severely the offender can be punished, for example, someone punished under Article 15 can't be kicked out with a dishonorable discharge, which requires a court martial conviction. For things like trying to find a post-military job, a dishonorable discharge is pretty much the kiss of death for anything with a background check, and a court martial conviction trips the same background checks as a federal felony conviction.

For something like murder or rape, punishment under Article 15 isn't typically offered, and it's only a court martial on the table.

I haven't seen anything about the guy's MOS, but I also haven't been looking.

Depending on what he did for a living in the Army, North Korea will probably also see some value in pumping him for information about his training, the way his unit was organized and equipped, etc.

Hell, even if he had a job like Shower, Laundry, & Clothing Repair Specialist - which is a real job in the US Army - the DPRK will probably still realize he has some useful knowledge rattling around in his skull just between basic training and his interaction with other joes. Sucks to be him if he can't tell them what they want to know.

In February he was fined 5 million won ($3,950) in Seoul on charges that included damaging public property, according to South Korean court documents. He was accused of repeatedly kicking a police patrol car in Seoul last year, causing several hundred dollars in damage.

Let's review the case

✔️ His last name is King.
✔️ He is accused of punching a South Korean national at a night club.
✔️ He is accused of damaging police property.
✔️ He is accused of kicking a cop car.
✔️ He is imprisoned and on his way to being flown to Texas but manages to escape at the airport in occupied Korea.
✔️ After escaping he infiltrates a tour group at the airport on their way to the DMZ at the border.
✔️ At the DMZ he is reported to have have laughed "Ha ha ha" as he escaped to freedom in Korea.
