NEW BERN, N.C. — A federal prosecutor says a former soldier at Fort Bragg has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for his part in a sham marriage and trying to obstruct the testimony of a witness.
U.S. Attorney Michael Easley said in a news release on Wednesday that Samuel Manu Agyapong, 34, also received three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $110,948 in restitution to the U.S. Army.
In July, Agyapong was found guilty of theft of government property, tampering with a witness, visa fraud, conspiracy to commit marriage fraud, and aiding and abetting naturalization fraud.
