Former Schofield Barracks Army Capt. David S. Gilliam, 39, drew a 50-month federal prison sentence Tuesday for stealing government property while serving in Afghanistan in 2004-2005.

Senior U.S. District Judge Helen Gillmor also ordered Gilliam to repay $450,566 to the government.
Gilliam was convicted of theft of government property, money laundering and tax perjury.
Hawai�i U.S. Attorney Florence Nakakuni said Gilliam admitted to stealing some $400,000 while assigned as a disbursing officer at Kandahar Air Base in Afghanistan.
According to court records, Gilliam smuggled stolen cash back to Hawai�i in a duffle bag, converting some of the funds to a $254,000 cashier�s check.
He later took the stolen money with him when he moved to South Carolina and failed to report receipt of the money on his tax returns, according to Nakakuni�s office.
