Former soldier sentenced to federal prison for stealing vehicle, ramming Fort Stewart building
FORT STEWART, Ga. (WTOC) - A U.S. Army retiree who crashed a stolen vehicle into a Fort Stewart office building has been sent to federal prison and ordered to pay substantial restitution.
Treamon Dominic Lacy, 42, of Warner Robins, Georgia, was sentenced to 33 months in prison after his conviction at trial in U.S. District Court on charges of Theft of Government Property and Damage to Government Property, said Margaret E. “Meg” Heap, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia.
U.S District Court Judge J. Randal Hall also ordered Lacy to pay $579,868 in restitution and to serve three years of supervised release upon completion of his prison term.
There is no parole in the federal system.
“As a former servicemember, Treamon Lacy used his knowledge of operations at Hunter Army Airfield to steal a vehicle and crash through the front doors of an occupied building,” said U.S. Attorney Heap. “It’s a miracle no one was injured or killed, and this sentence holds him accountable for his actions.”
Court records show that Lacy was a retired U.S. Army staff sergeant when in July 2023 he gained access to Fort Stewart, entered the motor pool and stole a high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle, known as a Humvee, and drove to the headquarters building of the U.S. Army’s Third Infantry Division. Lacy then drove the vehicle into the entrance of the building, causing extensive damage.
No one was injured, and military police took Lacy into custody. A federal grand jury indicted Lacy in August 2023, and he was convicted at trial in U.S. District Court in September 2025. After sentencing he was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The case was investigated by the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division. and prosecuted for the United States by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Bradley R. Thompson and Michael Z. Spitulnik.
