MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - MacDill Air Force Base officials have released the names of the two individuals that attempted to gain entry to the base Monday evening.

Army Spc. Christopher Paul Kilburn, Alpha Company, 1-16th 1st Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kan. is charged with desertion. He will be turned over to Army authorities.

Additional charges will be pending as the investigation continues.

Micah Noel Goodier, Palm Beach, Fla. will face charges pending a decision by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The couple was arrested Monday evening, when they tried to gain access to the base. The base's public affairs office did not know if either person had an attorney.

Air Force Col. Dave Cohen said during a news conference earlier Tuesday that it doesn't appear to have been a terrorism attempt.

Investigators were still trying to get to the bottom of the couple's motivation and intent, Cohen said.

"We've been talking to them since last night trying to get information, and we're still trying to put that puzzle together," he said.
