A former Fort Drum soldier has been sentenced to prison for his involvement in DeKalb and Gouverneur gun shop burglaries.
Devin Diggs, 21, will serve 24 months in federal prison for the burglaries of two federally licensed firearms dealers in Northern New York, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
As part of his previous guilty plea, Diggs admitted to stealing five \long guns during the burglary of a licensed federal firearms dealer in Gouverneur on Sept. 14, 2019. He also admitted to the burglary of a second licensed federal firearms dealer in DeKalb Junction on Sept. 29, 2019 during which five handguns were stolen. All stolen firearms were recovered during the investigation. Diggs also admitted to knowingly possessing stolen firearms taken during those burglaries in his barracks at Fort Drum. Diggs’s co-defendant, Rian Patterson, was sentenced to serve 30 months in prison on September 29, 2020, USDOJ said.
In addition to his term of imprisonment, the court also sentenced Diggs to serve three years of post-imprisonment supervised release and ordered him to pay restitution to the victims.
