Three suspects have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery of a U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agent in California, according to reports.
The incident unfolded at around 9:30 pm on June 15 in Tustin, a city in Orange County.
President Joe Biden was in town for a fundraiser with former President Obama in Los Angeles on the same night as the robbery.
Tustin Police Department (TPD) officers were called to the Tustin Fields I residential community where they encountered a USSS agent who told them his bag had been stolen at gunpoint.
The agent opened fire upon the suspects, who fled the scene in an Infiniti sedan.
The suspects remained on the loose for weeks until three men were apprehended at various locations across Southern California between July 11 and 24.
TPD issued a press release on Thursday, stating, “three suspects, all with multiple arrests and convictions in Los Angeles County, drove to the City of Tustin to commit a robbery. The primary suspect, Jamonte Fitzgerald Johnson, exited the vehicle and pointed a firearm at the victim’s face, demanding his belongings.”
“It was discovered during the investigation that one of the suspects, Bertran Claude Bell, was apparently struck by the victim’s gunfire.”
Johnson was arrested in Riverside on July 11, E’Shon Dwayne Dodson was arrested in Los Angeles on July 17, and Bell was arrested in Los Angeles on July 24.
No further information has been released at this time.
