Army chief of staff arrested buying $17 million worth of pistols from undercover ATF agent

Filed · 1537

RICHMOND, Va. – The Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has confirmed that the agency arrested Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley after he reportedly tried to purchase more than $17 million worth of Glock pistols from undercover ATF agents disguised as Cabela’s employees.

The ATF reportedly arrested Milley, 57, along with a group of unknown men dressed in black leather boots, tactical khaki slacks and button up polo shirts.

“We basically went through the process like we were actually going to sell him 30,000 of Glocks and then let the ATF guys pounce on him,” according to Jesse Hacker, manager of the Richmond, Va., Cabela’s store where Milley was arrested. “Can you believe that guy?”
