SEAL Team 6 Member Pleads Guilty In Hazing Death
Details Published: 14 January 2021
One of the most elite warriors in the country s military now faces more than 22 years in prison after pleading guilty today to what he described was a hazing incident gone horribly wrong. A member of the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, otherwise known as SEAL Team 6, Chief Special Operator Tony DeDolph, was in Africa in 2017 when he participated in a violent prank against Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar. It ended in Melgar s death.
Wearing his dress uniform in a Norfolk military court, DeDolph told the judge that he was on a night out in the capital of Mali with another SEAL and two Marines, going from club to club. It became apparent that Melgar was not coming with them that he had stood the men up.
Navy SEAL Tony DeDolph pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the 2017 death of Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar. A felony murder charge was dismissed under a plea agreement.
An elite Navy SEAL who died in a parachute training accident in Florida last year was unconscious shortly after exiting the plane and never attempted to open his parachute, according to a Navy investigation.
