He had the backing of the Division Provost Martial who would go on to being the PM for MACV and who was Court Martialled for his involvement with Wooldridge.
He was a great combat soldier but obviously had a major character flaw when it came to money/troops.
Would have been a great Mafia Capo.
Sadly, we still allow Wool and McK to still hang around, speechify etc just because they were the SMA.

Former Army Sgt. Maj. to plead in slug incident

WASHINGTON - Former Sgt. Maj. of the Army Gene McKinney will enter a plea, rather than stand trial for allegedly striking a slug passenger who demanded to be let out of McKinney's car in Oct. 2010, WTOP has learned.

Court records show McKinney will enter a plea in Arlington Circuit Court Tuesday morning. His jury trial was scheduled to begin Monday.

McKinney was indicted in April 2011 for malicious wounding - a felony, and reckless driving - a misdemeanor.

You can bet he pled down the felony charge. We will have to see what the final outcome is.
