BOULDER - An anti-war group says a Boulder Iraq veteran accused of deserting from the Marines two years ago is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Lance Hering was arrested Nov. 16 in Port Angeles, Wash., on charges of desertion and contempt of court.

He disappeared in August 2006 after a staged climbing accident.

Military Families Speak Out, an organization of military families against the Iraq war, said Tuesday Hering is "dealing with the consequences of choices he made in the grips of PTSD."
