MOSCOW (AP) — A court in Russia’s far eastern city of Vladivostok has convicted a visiting American soldier of stealing and making threats of murder, and it sentenced him to three years and nine months in prison. Russian state news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti reported Wednesday that the judge also ordered Staff Sgt. Gordon Black to pay $115 in damages. U.S. and Russian officials say Black had flown to the Pacific port city earlier this year to see his girlfriend and was arrested after she accused him of stealing from her. Black’s sentencing further complicates U.S.-Russia relations, which have grown increasingly tense as the fighting in Ukraine continues.
