A Redlands man was sentenced to six years in federal prison Thursday for stealing the identities of about 16,000 reserve and active-duty service members that he used to buy expensive merchandise, authorities said.
Rene Quimby, 42, was charged with using the identities to defraud the Army and Air Force Exchange Service to buy iPods, digital cameras, computers, washers, dryers and other merchandise, the U.S. attorney's office in Dallas said. The items were later sold.
The case was tried in Dallas because the exchange service is headquartered there.
