A former Army soldier was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Thursday for stealing weapons from Fort Bliss, along with other charges.
Christopher Darnell Harris, 25, pled guilty in April to two counts of possession of stolen firearms, one count of theft, one count of unlawful carrying of firearms, and one count of possession of marijuana, according to a Department of Justice release.
He was also to three years of supervised release after completing his prison term
Harris, originally from Nacogdoches, Texas, had admitted to stealing items from at least 10 service members between April to June 2017, including keys which he used to break into vehicles and steal two handguns.
Harris somehow “still had access to Fort Bliss” despite his earlier separation from the Army, according to the DoJ.
