(AP) – Federal prosecutors say two former U.S. Army soldiers have been sentenced for stealing millions of dollars from the government while they were stationed in Saudi Arabia. Authorities say 44-year-old Jasen Minter of Fayetteville, Georgia, and 48-year-old Louis E. Nock of Orlando, Florida, have each been sentenced to four years and nine months in prison for stealing more than $2.7 million in government funds. Authorities say Minter and Nock worked as the finance officer and deputy finance officer for the United States Military Training Mission and had access to a government bank account. Prosecutors say the two withdrew money from the account and kept it. The theft was uncovered in a Department of Defense audit. Both have been ordered to pay more than $2.2 million in restitution.
