Airman jailed for stealing donated money

OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — An Air Force sergeant who pleaded guilty to stealing money from a safe was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail and loss of rank, officials said.

Tech. Sgt. Eva Zimmerman was reduced in rank to airman first class following a court-martial before military judge Col. Mark Allred.

The money was in an envelope and contained between $4,000 and $6,000 that had been donated for a U.S. 7th Air Force (Air Forces Korea) banquet.

Zimmerman spent it for her "personal use," officials said.

Zimmerman, sergeant-in-charge of executive support services with 7th Air Force’s 607th Support Group, had been charged with larceny that occurred sometime between Sept. 15 and Nov. 20, officials said.
