Three fort Campbell soldiers were charged with transferring firearms to an out-of-state resident, making false statements while purchasing a firearm, money laundering, conspiracy, wire fraud, and engaging in the business without a firearms license. 

The three charged are Demarcus Adams, 21; Jarius Brunson, 22; and Brandon Miller, 22, all stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

The investigation began after multiple people were shot and one died in Chicago on March 26, according to the office of Mary Jane Stewart, acting U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Five of the firearms recovered at the scene had been purchased from dealers in the Clarksville, Tennessee, area, outside Fort Campbell, according to Stewart's office. Adams, Brunson, and Miller were the “majority purchasers” of the guns, prosecutors said.

Investigators allege the three purchased 91 firearms from multiple dealers near Fort Campbell beginning in September 2019. The complaint alleges that after the guns were purchased, Miller would provide them to associates in Chicago.
