URBANA, Ill. (AP) - Two Illinois National Guardsmen have pleaded not guilty to trying to sell stolen military body armor and other gear on eBay.
Christopher R. Henkel and Lee. N. Shobe, both Iraq war veterans, entered their pleas Wednesday in U.S. District Court to a single count each of stealing government property and are scheduled to go on trial April 16, according to the clerk's office.
The pair were arrested Jan. 12 by FBI agents after selling body armor and night-vision gear to undercover informants, according to the court complaint filed against them. They are suspected of selling equipment for thousands of dollars.
