Answer: Urinating on a police car, and fighting in public

You hear the charges from the judge at his arraignment. The judge lets him go on account of his superb military record. After that you see that the police officer isn't too pleased about the charges being dropped just because Highway is a war hero.
8. Where do Gunnery Sergeant Highway and his Marines get deployed to?

Recon Platoon wins the contest when Gunnery Sergeant Highway takes down Major Powers for his platoon to win the 72 Hour Pass. After this happens, his men have a much higher respect for Gunny. This is when Lance Corporal Jones tells the other troops that Gunny Highway won the Medal of Honor at Heartbreak Ridge.
