The 35-year-old’s attorney, A. Patrick Roberts, asked that his bail be set at $250,000, but a magistrate chose the usual $1 million bail associated with those charges.

Roberts’ request said that Duran has been in the Army for 16 years and deployed overseas 11 times. The request also said Duran is married with four children.

An Army spokesman says Duran is assigned to Fort Bragg’s Special Operations Command.
