July 23 (UPI) -- House Foreign Affairs Chair Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, believes Travis King was running from disciplinary action when he fled to North Korea last week.
King, a U.S. soldier, crossed the Korean Demilitarized Zone into North Korea on Tuesday. He had previously been detained in a military facility over an assault case that he faced in Seoul. He was scheduled to be flown to the United States to face discipline.
