A second suspect in the theft of a fallen airman’s dog tags has been arrested, but investigators have not found the tags or other stolen property.
Dwain Boyd, 22, has been charged with felony theft, first-degree criminal trespass, conspiracy, and obstruction, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said in a media release.
Boyd is being held at the El Paso County Jail.
He is suspected of stealing belongings of the late Senior Airman Bradley R. Smith, 24, of Troy, Ill., from a car in a restaurant parking lot in Colorado Springs.
Smith was killed in an ambush near Kandahar Airfield on Jan. 3. His wife and mother had flown to Colorado earlier this month for a memorial service at Fort Carson and to collect the possessions sent back from Afghanistan.
They were having lunch at Golden Corral on Waynoka Drive when someone smashed a rear window of their rental car and took Smith’s dog tags, two laptops, a digital camera and other items.
Denard Thompson, 29, has also been charged in the case.
