U.S. soldier sentenced for illegal firearms sale: A U.S. soldier was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison for the illegal sale of firearms that police said were used in a series of armed robberies. Leonard Stephan Lockley, 28, of Bowie, pleaded guilty earlier this year to receiving and selling machine guns that he got out of Iraq while deployed with the Army near Baghdad.  These weapons were later used in a series of bank robberies in the Washington area, police said. FBI and Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bureau agents investigating a bank robbery later recovered the guns.
