Military couple profited from stolen weapons parts, optics and other gear, indictment says

A soldier assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, N.C., used his job to siphon off excess military equipment and sell the items for a profit between 2018 and 2022, according to an indictment unsealed Monday by federal prosecutors.

The indictment against Chief Warrant Officer 3 Christopher Hammond chronicled $1.8 million worth of wire transfers allegedly connected to illegal sales deposited into a checking account separate from the one his military paychecks went into.
