Two were found guilty of robbing an off-duty Secret Service agent at gunpoint after Joe Biden's fundraiser

Two men were found guilty of robbing an off-duty Secret Service agent at gunpoint after the agent finished work at a fundraiser in Los Angeles attended by President Joe Biden, prosecutors said Monday.

The robbery occurred on June 15 after the unidentified agent attended the star-studded campaign fundraiser in Los Angeles before Biden dropped out of the race to be the Democratic nominee in this year's election.

DNA on the gun and the agent's stolen property linked one of the men, Jamonte Fitzgerald Johnson, 32, of Fontana, to the robbery and led to the arrest of him and two others, the release said.

The agent was exiting 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 his laptop bag, the DA's office said.

Johnson dropped the gun he was holding as he returned to the SUV after the robbery, which was recovered by Tustin investigators.

According to the prosecution, the agent's stolen cell phone, radio and other belongings were later recovered in the area and discarded by the suspects as they fled.

Johnson was arrested on July 11, 2024 in Riverside.

He was described as a “third striker,” which in California means he has been convicted of two serious or violent felonies. His previous strike convictions included an attempted residential burglary in San Bernardino in 2012 and a 2013 residential burglary in San Bernardino, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said Johnson was also on parole for weapons violations.

Johnson was found guilty by a jury Monday in connection with the robbery. He was found guilty of one felony count of second-degree robbery, one felony count of possession of a firearm by a felon and two felony counts of personal use of a firearm.

He will be sentenced Nov. 22 and faces a maximum sentence of 35 years to life in state prison.

Meanwhile, E'shon Dwayne Dodson, 21, of Compton, was arrested July 17 in Los Angeles.

He was also found guilty by a jury Monday of one felony count of second-degree robbery and one felony count of being armed with a firearm during the commission of a felony.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 10, 2025 and faces a maximum sentence of six years in state prison.

The agent fired several shots during the robbery, wounding 38-year-old Bertran Claude Bell of Los Angeles, who was in the gray SUV, the release said. Bell was hospitalized in Los Angeles and treated for gunshot wounds sustained in the altercation.

He was taken into custody in Los Angeles on July 24, pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery that same month and was sentenced to six years in state prison.

NBC News has reached out to the men's attorneys for comment.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement, “Today's convictions are another example that crime doesn't pay in Orange County and that justice will be swift and decisive.”
