6 Airmen Caught with Thousands of Rounds of Stolen Ammo, Federal Indictment Alleges

Six airmen had 14,000 rounds of stolen ammunition, mostly from Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington, according to federal court documents filed May 3. The ammunition was discovered after at least one of the airmen allegedly made online threats advocating for the violent overthrow of the federal government.
In March 2022, Sanger -- along with Staff Sgt. Eric Eagleton, another airman accused in the indictment -- met with an undercover Office of Special Investigations agent who was wearing a wire.

According to the affidavit, Eagleton told the agent that he and other members of Fairchild's 92nd Security Forces Squadron Combat Arms Training and Maintenance center regularly stole ammunition from the armory, adding that he stole up to 3,000 rounds of ammunition per day.
