High on drugs, a demobilized soldier from the special forces of the army climbed up an eight-story residential building and broke into and old couple's home, scaring them out of their wits in June.

A court in Miyun, Beijing, sentenced the soldier to six months in jail, saying it was only being lenient because the old couple forgave him.

The soldier said he took to drugs because he was depressed at being demobilized from the force.
