A U.S. airman and a former airman were arrested June 28 for their alleged involvement in an international smuggling ring, local Australian news sources reported this week.
Staff Sgt. Christopher Paul and former SrA Jarvis Cobb “were arrested by Australian authorities on charges related to the importation of tobacco products with intent to defraud revenue,” U.S. Pacific Air Forces confirmed in a statement sent to Air Force Times. Paul was assigned to the Air Postal Squadron, Detachment 4, in Sydney, and Cobb was with the U.S. Military Post Office in Sydney before leaving the service, according to Air Force records. PACAF said Paul has already pleaded guilty to a charge of importing ‘tobacco products with intent to defraud revenue.’
