Double Jeopardy

This is called Double Jeopardy, and the answer is “Yes”. Unfortunately, this happens quite frequently. If you are charged with a crime by civilian law enforcement, not only will you face civilian charges, but you will likely face action by your Command. For example, if you receive a DUI, you will face prosecution in civilian court, which may carry a driver’s license suspension, fines, court costs, and even jail.
