From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 25): 10th ID trooper nabbed for pilfering, selling ammunition

The Compostela Valley-based 10th Infantry Division has placed one of its soldiers under arrest after the latter was caught pilfering and selling ammunition on Friday.

In a statement Sunday, 10th Infantry Division public affairs office chief Capt. Rhyan Batchar identified the erring trooper as Sgt. Jeffrey Ordoño and assigned at the 10th Division Training School.

As per reports, Ordoño has allegedly pilfered around 1,000 live ammunition and sold it to civilians.

Batchar said the suspect will be facing charges for violation of Articles of War 85 also known as “waste and unlawful disposition of military property”.

If evidence warrants, he shall either undergo administrative or judicial proceedings which may include trial by court martial.
