Bogota Colombia: U.S. Marine Officers Robbed and Drugged with scopolamine

miamiherald.com/Carol Rosenberg reported three married U.S. Marine officers have found themselves under investigation for a night in February that went off the rails in Bogotá, involving allegations they went drinking with some local women, were slipped illicit drugs, robbed of U.S. property and landed in a local hospital emergency room.
