LOS ANGELES, September 29, 2006 - After refusing to return to Iraq for a second time, Army Specialist Agustin Aguayo turned himself in on Tuesday September 26, 2006 at the Fort Irwin Army Base near Barstow, California. Aquayo had filed for conscientious objector status before being deployed to Iraq in 2004. His petition was wrongfully denied by the military and he was forced to flee from a back bedroom window of his home in Germany rather than return for a second time.
