The last of three soldiers accused of robbing two gun dealers near their duty station in Fort Drum, NY, was sentenced to two years in federal prison.

Devin Diggs, 21, sentenced on October 6, had already pleaded guilty, as are his co-defendants, Rian Patterson, 23, and Tyrease Kimmons, 20, according to court records.

Patterson, who was sentenced on September 29, was sentenced to 30 months. Kimmons was sentenced in March to 10 months. Each of the three men faced up to 10 years in prison for their charges.

As of February at least, none of the three were still in the military, according to a statement from the US attorney’s office.

Patterson and Diggs stole five firearms, three rifles, and two shotguns from Bowman’s Gun Shop in Gouverner, NY, at around 1:20 a.m. on September 14, 2019. Security cameras captured video footage of two masked people with gloves entering the back entrance to the store, according to the statement by the US attorney’s office.

In the second incident, just over a week later, they stole five handguns from Graham’s Guns in De Kalb at around 1:10 a.m. on September 29. Again, video footage showed two masked people, wearing gloves, breaking into the front door. from the store and take up arms.

A witness told police he saw two people flee the store through nearby yards, then heard what looked like a vehicle start up and leave the area.

Local police retrieved information from the New York License Plate Reader System, which collected images of a dark-colored sedan with New York plates. He was spotted on tapes traveling northbound on State Route 11 in the Gouverneur area at around 12:43 am. The same vehicle was spotted by the system heading south on the same route near De Kalb at around 1:25 am.

The vehicle was registered in the name of Diggs.

A few days after the second break-in, at 5:20 a.m. on October 1, Sgt. Clinton Vaugh performed an inspection of the barracks’ rooms unrelated to the break-ins, court documents show.

Vaugh was looking for contraband on the orders of the company commander, Captain Jeff Thondique due to “recent drug activity within the unit,” according to court documents.

During the search of several barracks rooms, Vaugh found two pistols in Patterson’s computer office.

On the same day, an ATF agent questioned Patterson, who admitted to planning and carrying out the two robberies, court documents show.

Patterson said he, Diggs, and Kimmons planned the heists. Kimmons searched the internet for gun stores to target. Diggs then drove Patterson to the stores and the couple committed the break-ins.

The couple stole the guns and then took them to Kimmons’ home. Patterson kept Charles Daley’s 301 .410 caliber shotgun from the first heist, along with two of the pistols from the second theft, and brought them back to the barracks.

Diggs and Kimmons kept the remaining guns, Patterson said.

Military police questioned Diggs, who told them the same, adding that he took one of the guns to his barracks room.

Police questioned Kimmons, who said he spoke with Diggs and Patterson about the break-ins but didn’t help them plan.

Kimmons said Diggs and Patterson came to his home in Evans Mills, New York in the early morning hours of September 14, 2019, and let them store guns and ammunition at his home, this which is also a crime.

They returned home early on September 29, he said, and the couple gave him a pistol in exchange for storing the weapons, according to court documents.

During questioning, Kimmons told investigators the items were still in his home.

They then searched his home and he showed them a black military style duffel bag with “DIGGS” on the outside. Diggs brought the bag home on September 29, but Kimmons denied knowing what the bag contained, he said.
