SAN ANTONIO — An Army sergeant who worked as a military recruiter has admitted he funneled dozens of assault weapons to a Mexican cartel last year with the help of other soldiers.
The San Antonio Express-News reports Sgt. Julian Prezas pleaded guilty this week to charges that include lying on federal firearms forms.
Prosecutors relied on the testimony of informants who assisted Prezas in forwarding the weapons to the Gulf Cartel. There are at least three other defendants in the case.
A lawyer for Prezas says he's a decorated veteran who misunderstood regulations over the sale of guns.
Sentencing is scheduled for March in federal court. Prezas also is facing a disciplinary discharge from the military.

That is truly despicable that Army Sgt. Julian Prezas funneled dozens of assault weapons to a Mexican cartel last year with the help of other soldiers SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
I hope that he and his cohorts in crime get the maximum sentence possible.

Someone that deserves to be put on the frontline against ISIS, about 2 miles out with only a 9mm and 4 clips.
