Married Army officers' scheme, stealing $2M from taxpayers, ends in convictions

(The Center Square) — Two married U.S. Army officers face long prison sentences after they were convicted of stealing more than $2 million in taxpayer-funded property from a North Carolina Army base.

Maj. Heather Hammond, 34, was convicted by a federal jury on Thursday of spending proceeds from the sale of military equipment stolen from Fort Bragg by her husband, 38-year-old CW3 Christopher Hammond.

Christopher Hammond pleaded guilty to theft of government property and money laundering the week prior.

"We are putting a stop to corruption at Fort Bragg and those who use their official positions to line their own pockets. Mr. Hammond abused his position with the Army to steal and sell government property. He stole military scopes, weapons parts, tools, welding equipment, night vision goggles and ATVs," U.S. Attorney Michael Easley said. "This gear was meant to support our troops in the fight for freedom, but the Hammonds sold it to retire in style."
