A disabled veteran is facing 20 years in federal prison after allegedly driving a stolen Humvee into a U.S. Army headquarters building in Georgia in July, according to the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Georgia.

Treamon Dominic Lacy, 39, allegedly stole a military Humvee from a motor pool on July 10 and subsequently rammed it into the front doors of the U.S. Army’s Third Infantry Division Headquarters at Fort Stewart, a release from the office of U.S. Attorney Jill E. Steinberg stated.


A former U.S. Army staff sergeant, Lacy medically retired from active duty service due to back problems in 2013 — a condition which designated him as 100% disabled according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Task and Purpose reported. Lacy’s father, Leamon Lacy Jr., told the outlet it was possible his son had not been taking prescribed medication for mental stress prior to the alleged July 10 incident.

“When you don’t take your medicine, that’s when things can go haywire,” his father said, per the outlet.

While Lacy’s father was not able to provide a motive for his son’s alleged actions, he speculated that Lacy’s time in the service might have affected him. Lacy, who served from 2002-2013, was a wheeled vehicle mechanic who deployed twice to Iraq. During his time in the service, Lacy earned four Army Commendation Medals, four Army Achievement Medals; two Army Good Conduct Medals, the National Defense Service Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal with two campaign stars, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Korean Defense Service Medal, two Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbons, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon, and the Driver and Mechanic Badge, Task and Purpose reported.

After his retirement, Lacy volunteered to assist other veterans at the Georgia Veterans Education Career Transition Resource Center near Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.

“There’s some things I experienced as a veteran and I was thinking I could help other veterans,” Lacy said in a 2017 interview. “I’m proud of my service because I feel like I was part of a goal, and that’s to keep America safe. I’m glad I was able to do my duty and serve my country.”

Lacy has been charged with damage to government property and theft of government money, property or records, according to the release.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
