D-M airman gets 8 months for pointing gun at civilians
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 08.22.2009
A Davis-Monthan airman who carried a loaded, concealed handgun into a local strip club and threatened two civilians will spend eight months in federal confinement and will be booted from the military with a bad-conduct discharge.
Senior Airman Jeffery M.B. Strickland also was stripped of his stripes with a rank reduction to airman basic at his court-martial in Tucson, which ended Friday.
Strickland, a member of D-M’s 355th Equipment Maintenance Squadron, was arrested by Tucson Police Department officers around 2 a.m. on March 22 at Ten’s Showclub, 5120 E. Speedway.
A military charge sheet describing the allegations said Strickland pointed a loaded handgun at two civilians in the club and threatened to shoot one of them. The airman, who is black, also uttered a racial epithet against one of the victims, who is Anglo.

… When (Ryberg) resigned, he decided he had no interest in law-enforcement employment, so there was no point in maintaining his law-enforcement status,” Piccarreta said.
He did not know if his client has found employment elsewhere.
Piccarreta declined to comment on the allegations but said there was no wrongdoing.
The Peace Officer Standards and Training board also took action Wednesday against a former South Tucson police lieutenant convicted on two federal charges of stealing more than $500,000 from the city and its Police Department.
The board revoked the certification of Richard Garcia, who is serving a 33-month sentence.
Garcia worked for the South Tucson Police Department for 13 years. He was fired in June 2008 after an internal investigation.
He admitted taking nearly $560,000 from the department’s asset-forfeiture program and its evidence room between February 2004 and May 2008.
Court documents say he used the money for gambling and trips to strip clubs.
