MARTIN, Tenn. — A West Tennessee judge has sentenced two people who admitted defacing a memorial to a dead soldier to work at the armory of the soldier’s National Guard unit.
Brandon White, who is 23, and 22-year-old Sara Gallimore appeared before General Sessions Court judge Tommy Moore on Wednesday in Dresden.
WCMT Radio in Martin reported Moore ordered White and Gallimore to pay $100 each in restitution for painting a memorial to Spc. Dustin Laird in Martin with images of a skull and skeleton.
Moore also assigned them to put in 200 hours of community service work at the armory where Laird’s unit is based in Union City.
Laird was a member of the 913th Engineer Company.
He was killed when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle in Rawah, Iraq, on Aug. 1, 2006.
