Two men have been convicted of robbing an off-duty Secret Service agent at gunpoint after the agent had finished working at a Los Angeles fundraiser that President Joe Biden attended, prosecutors said Monday.
The robbery unfolded on June 15 after the agent, who was not identified, had attended the star-studded campaign fundraiser in Los Angeles, from before Biden dropped out of the race to be Democratic nominee at this year's election.
DNA on the gun and the agent’s stolen belongings connected one of the men, Jamonte Fitzgerald Johnson, 32, of Fontana, to the robbery, and led to the arrests of him and two others, the release said.
The agent was walking from his parked car in a residential neighborhood in Tustin, California, about 35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, when a man got out of a gray SUV and approached him, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
That man, later identified as Johnson, pointed a gun at the agent and grabbed the agent’s laptop bag, the DA's office said.
