An Army Special Forces sergeant responsible for helping elite Green Berets orchestrate deployments has been charged with growing marijuana on his southern Illinois farm. 
Master Sgt. Ernest Eugene May, 48, also could face military charges for unauthorized military munitions police say they found in his home. May, stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky., was charged Oct. 20 with four drug-related counts stemming from the discovery of marijuana growing in fields near his home, said State's Attorney Brian Trambley. On Thursday, Maj. Tom McConnell, a spokesman for Army Special Forces headquarters at Fort Bragg, N.C., said the Army is awaiting the outcome of May's civil proceedings before determining whether military charges should be filed. He was unable to determine if May remained in his post. May was free on $5,000 bond. May's unit is one of five active duty Green Beret units stationed in the United States. Soldiers assigned to the units are considered among the military's elite. AP-NY-10-28-99 2139EDTCopyright 1999, The Associated Press.
