Leavenworth man helped steal furniture, antiques from soldiers

From U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren's Office:

Christopher Wilson, 33, Leavenworth, pleaded guilty to one count of misprision of a felony. In his plea, he admitted he knew that a fellow employee of Century Van Lines in Leavenworth was sorting out valuable goods soldiers stored with the movers and placing them up for sale. Co-defendant Robert Kieser, 49, Elwood, Kan., is set for jury trial Jan. 5, 2009.

“Goods stolen from soldiers were sold at garage sales or auctioned off on eBay,” Melgren said. “Some of them wound up on shelves in antique stores in St. Joseph, Mo.”

Draft 'em. We need more soldiers in Afghanastan - they'll do just fine.
