Fort Campbell soldier charged after selling gun

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Authorities say a Fort Campbell soldier has been arrested after selling a machine gun and a land mine to an undercover federal agent.

Authorities said 22-year-old Eric David Waldman, of Clarksville, Tenn., was charged Monday with one count of possession of an unregistered machine gun.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives resident agent in charge Kevin Kelm said Waldman sold a machine gun and a land mine to an agent in Oak Grove, Ky., just outside the installation.

Kelm said the agency is trying to determine the mine’s origins.

Waldman is being held without bond by the U.S. Marshals Service. A message left with his attorney was not immediately returned.
