Fort Campbell, KY – The case involving Lt. Col. Darin Haas is under investigation by the Clarksville Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. From our understanding, Lt. Col. Haas is in a conflict with his ex-wife based on a contentious divorce, and both have mutual orders of protection against each other.

The ongoing investigation is to determine whether or not he violated the actual provisions of the Order of Protection that applies to him.

Based on these allegations, Lt. Col. Haas was immediately removed from his position as the Fort Campbell Sexual Harassment and Assault Response Prevention/Equal Opportunity program manager. He is pending retirement from the Army, and his replacement will assume duties immediately.

Because the investigation is being conducted by a civilian law enforcement agency, Fort Campbell is not the lead investigative agency for this case and will await the results of civilian court proceedings before taking action.
