Retired Sailor, and Accomplice, Plead Guilty to the Theft of over $60,000 from Exchange

A retired Sailor and an accomplice pleaded guilty to stealing over $60,000 from August 10, 2018, to November 1, 2108. The Navy Times identified Gregory Custer, the retired Sailor, as a retired CPO. This wasn’t the first time he didn’t obey the law. As of the time that he was doing this, he was on probation for misusing funds. He had a history of theft and fraud.

They may have been selling these items. The accomplice, Donna Sieglein, invited another with the claim that they could make $1,000.00 or more.

The Capital Gazette goes into detail:

Authorities reviewed months of surveillance footage, which captured on Sieglein in the electronics department on numerous occasions shoveling merchandise into a bag she was carrying, the agreement details.

“During these instances,” federal prosecutors wrote, “(Custer) stood by looking out for (Naval Exchange) personnel or engaged in conversation with (Naval Exchange) personnel to distract them from Sieglein’s thefts.”

Sometimes, the plea explained, Custer picked out items, handed them to Sieglein for her to stow away in her bag. The pair made low-value purchases each time they visited the store to avoid suspicion of theft, the plea details.

Custer made the purchases by showing his military identification card at checkout, the plea details.

Investigators seized a cell phone from Sieglein and retrieved text messages as well as pictures of pristinely packaged electronics, the price tags still attached, according to the plea.

In one message Sieglein invited another person to join her at the store, saying they’d “make at least $1,000. We would also be able to get any (Michael Kors) purse you want. It’s super easy and safe,” she wrote the person, according to the plea.

    2. These mental giants kept doing it despite not being paid for past runs? I mean, it’s stupid to begin with, but when you’re not even getting paid for it…. They’d have been better off driving for Uber or Lyft.

  2. From the Capital Gazette article: “Navy police arrested Custer and Sieglein Nov. 1, after officers found two Apple computers and a SUMMER SAUSAGE [my caps for emphasis] in Sieglein’s bag, according to the plea agreements. None of the items had been paid for.”

    Oh hell no, that’s just wrong not to mention perverse – who’s doing what to whom with that meat stick?

  4. Just dayyyuuum! Has morals, ethics, and good judgement just been completely done away with? Or is it that the advent of 24/7/365 news just bringing more examples of stupidity to the fore front? The chief musta of been a dirtbag for awhile, “long history…probation for misusing funds.” And what kind of plea deal beats 10 years down to 8 months? Who wants to wager we’ll see him busted again for some sort of nefarious acts?

    As for the marines (lower case intentional), DiFi, Maxi Pad et al will prolly give them an award for attempting to add to the demon craps voter rolls. Dumbasses!

      1. Damn right he’s an E-7… a real Chief doesn’t resort to embracing the thug life.

        1. Thanks for the correction there of. I knew that was another way of the belittling but couldn’t quite pull it out. That’s why i used the lower case on the spelling of that reference they made in the article.

    2. Who else gets a life sentence reduced to 18 months of work release for 6 days/week, 12 hours each day so all you do is sleep at the county jail after getting their pedophilia charges reduced to buying a prostitute charge ???

      “Acosta said at a press conference that Barry Krischer intended to let Epstein off with no jail time despite allegations that he solicited sex from underage girls.”
      That’s who….
      Damn Florida d-rats…

  5. Hat tip to my favorite Pirate Heavy Metal band – Alestorm

    First lets tie him to a rope
    And throw him overboard
    Drag him underneath the ship
    A terrifying deadly trip

    Keelhaul, that filthy landlubber, send him down to the depths below
    Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho

    1. That’s pretty. . .uh. . . special music. Didn’t know “Pirate Heavy Metal” was a thing or that there would be enough of them to have a favorite!
      Sounds like Drop Kick Murphys on Talk Like a Pirate Day!!
      🙂

  7. So, did that guy forget the year was 2019? I’m pretty sure that store cameras have been in use for a good long time and they have just gotten better in terms of storage capacity for higher quality images. That and giving the constables a nice electronic idiot trail on their phones. . . Grade A stooooopid.
    The fact that he has been in trouble with the law before just means he’s bad at. Perhaps he should find a new line of work instead of criminality.

    1. He should be Sitting in jail for awhile. And that’s no Bull! Be Crazy as a Horse soon.
