NEW YORK - An ex- member of the US National Guard pleaded guilty to smuggling shipments of firearms from NY City to China, federal prosecutors said. Joseph Debose, 30, formerly a staff sergeant with a unit of the US Special Forces, was arrested in May in a sting operation by federal agents in N Carolina. At the time of his arrest, he was carrying a 0.45 caliber pistol and 12 other firearms he intended to send illegally overseas. According to court documents, Debose provided multiple shipments of firearms to co-conspirators who then hid the weapons in packages and transported them to shipping companies to be sent to China.
