A U.S. Air Force staff sergeant and his husband have been federally indicted after prosecutors say they orchestrated a years-long scheme to siphon off millions in taxpayer-funded government resources to bankroll a luxury lifestyle complete with high-end vehicles and a seven-figure home in Arizona.
According to a federalgrand jury indictment, Staff Sgt. Richard Stefon Ramroop, 35, and his spouse Manuel George Madrid, 32, are facing a 12-count indictment that includes:
Federal authorities allege the couple used Ramroop’s position inside the pharmacy at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson to fraudulently purchase thousands of medical devices using government funds between 2022 and 2025.
Instead of going toward mission-critical defense needs, prosecutors say the equipment was diverted and resold for personal profit, with the illicit proceeds allegedly funneled into accounts controlled by the couple.
In total, the accounts controlled by Ramroop and Madrid received more than $11 million through wire transfers and other deposits from reselling the diverted equipment, while the government itself was left out more than $3 million in losses.
Officials say the money was then used to curate a luxury lifestyle.
