Gordon Black, a U.S. Army Sergeant, has lost his appeal against a nearly four-year sentence in a Russian penal colony.

The charges stemmed from an incident where Black was found guilty of stealing $113 from his girlfriend and making threats against her life. The appeal rejection was reported by RIA and Interfax.
