Mikel Parish, 28, was sentenced Tuesday and ordered to pay $208,024.57 in restitution. After his prison time, Parish will have three years of supervised release.

Parish was working as a distribution process worker at the Defense Logistics Agency at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, between April 2015 and March 2016. The agency provides storage and distribution support to the base and distributes supplies to all branches of the U.S. military around the world.

Parish was responsible for entering data about those supplies when Griffin Police Department contacted Air Force Security Forces. According to the police department, Parish was pawning and selling what appeared to be military equipment, which military investigators confirmed.

The investigation revealed that Parish used his work badge to access DLA before and after normal work hours. He would then steal equipment, including copper wire spools, ballistic vests and rifle scopes, according to the DoJ.

Charles Peeler, the United States attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, said prosecuting government theft and fraud is one of his priorities.

“Stealing from our armed forces even as they are engaged in violent conflict in defense of our nation is simply reprehensible,” Peeler said in the release. “I commend the cooperation between the Griffin police and the RAFB investigators which uncovered Mr. Parish’s theft and brought him to justice.”

The Air Force is spending nearly $24 million to upgrade its Air Force One refrigerators for the first time since 1990.

In December, Boeing was awarded a contract worth $23,657,671 for “engineering support services” for two chillers onboard Air Force One.

The cost includes prototype design, manufacturing, procurement, installation and testing, according to the Defense Department.

The contract states that the new chillers are expected to be completed and installed by October 2019.

Defense One first reported the news.

The Air Force One fleet consists of two heavily modified Boeing 747 aircraft, but it was unclear if each plane will be receiving a new chiller unit.

The chiller units being replaced are the original commercial equipment delivered with the aircraft in 1990, Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews told Air Force Times in a statement.

“The units were based on the technology at the time and designed for short-term food storage,” McAndrews said.

Even though the chillers are serviced on a regular basis, they’ve become less reliable, especially in hot or humid environments.

“The units are unable to effectively support mission requirements for food storage,” she said.

The new units will provide nearly 70 cubic feet of temperature-controlled storage to support personnel onboard the aircraft for an extended period of time without having to be resupplied.

This includes the ability to store about 3,000 meals in refrigerators and freezers below the passenger cabin, Defense One reported.

There are five chillers and 26 climate-controlled compartments onboard Air Force One, according to the Air Force. The two units being replaced include eight climate-controlled compartments.
