Three enlisted soldiers stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky are now facing a variety of federal charges after their arrest by ATF and Army investigators on Tuesday. The trio are accused of funneling dozens of guns purchased in Kentucky to associates in Chicago, where several of the guns have been traced to shootings.
The Army Times reports that 21-year old Demarcus Adams, 22-year old Jarius Brunson, and 22-year old Brandon Miller have all been charged with transferring a firearm to an out-of-state resident; making false statements during the purchase of a firearm; engaging in the business without a firearms license; wire fraud; money laundering; and conspiracy to commit Title 18 offenses, which could potentially put the soldiers in federal prison for 20 years or more.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Army is putting a civilian in charge of its criminal investigations, adding staff and freeing up more agents to work on cases, in a plan to address widespread failures that surfaced last year after a string of murders and other crimes at Fort Hood, Texas.
Army officials announced the plan Thursday but provided few details on how much the reorganization will cost or how long it will take, other than to say some changes will unfold over months. The changes are aimed at addressing complaints that Army investigators are overwhelmed and inexperienced.
