SEOUL — A Camp Humphreys staff sergeant who said he stole his soldier’s debit card to teach her a lesson learned his own hard lesson Friday when a military judge ended his 12-year career.

Staff Sgt. Kenneth Zepeta, of the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, was sentenced to a bad-conduct discharge, six months in prison and a demotion to E-1 after being found guilty of larceny and two specifications of disobeying a superior commissioned officer during a general court-martial at Camp Humphreys.

He was found not guilty of two counts of being absent without leave and one count of failure to obey a superior commissioned officer.

Zepeta will serve less than two months, having been awarded 128 days of credit for pretrial confinement.

Military Judge Col. David Conn waived the forfeiture of pay and allowances that normally accompanies a sentence of six months or more, citing the needs of Zepeta’s wife and children.
