PYEONGTAEK, South Korea — A found wallet led to a lost Army career for a sergeant at Camp Humphreys on Wednesday.

Sgt. Kevon J. Greenidge, 25, pleaded guilty to a spending spree with cards he’d taken after finding another soldier’s lost wallet.

Military judge Col. Donna M. Wright sentenced Greenidge to one year in jail, reduction to the military’s lowest pay grade, and a bad-conduct discharge.

Greenidge, of Company B, 3rd Military Intelligence Battalion, had been charged with larceny and disobeying the order of his commanding officer.

He spotted the wallet in a restroom at the post education center on Oct. 3, took a credit card and a debit card, and discarded the wallet, according to prosecutor Capt. Wendall Hall.
