U.S. Attorney: Fort Campbell soldiers sold stolen Army gear to buyers overseas

Six soldiers and two civilians were indicted this week on charges they conspired to steal and sell Army equipment, from printer ink to machine gun parts and the sight for a grenade launcher, on eBay.

Soldiers Michael Barlow, 29; Jonathan Wolford, 28; Kyle Heade, 29; Alexander Hollibaugh, 25; Dustin Nelson, 22; and Aaron Warner, 24, all stationed at Fort Campbell, were named in the indictment unsealed Thursday. Also charged were civilians John Roberts, 26, and Cory Wilson, 42, both of Clarksville.

U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee David Rivera announced the charges Thursday during a news conference at the federal courthouse in downtown Nashville.

According to the indictment, the eight men "sold certain U.S. Army equipment that is never offered for sale by the U.S. Department of Defense as surplus" starting in 2013.
