EAST LANSING - An Iraq War combat veteran who was involved last year in a standoff with police continued Tuesday on his path to rehabilitation.
At a hearing that was part of Ingham County's veterans' court program, Judge David Jordon sentenced Brad Eifert to 24 months of probation and ordered him to complete treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
That treatment will take place at a residential program near Rochester, N.Y., that accepted Eifert after his case was publicized last month in a New York Times article. The program, called Warrior Salute, typically offers three to six months of treatment. It is designed to help soldiers who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and/or traumatic brain injury.
"The direction you're going is forward," Jordon told Eifert. "I think this program will be a great jump-start for you."
