Earlier this month, a 30-year-old man from Trenton received a sentence of almost 13 years in prison. He had previously admitted to robbing a federal agent at gunpoint while trying to sell an unauthorized firearm, according to officials.
Alina Habba, the US Attorney, stated that Jabree Johnson admitted guilt to charges including assaulting a federal officer using a lethal instrument, robbing someone who had control over federal assets through the use of a hazardous weapon, as well as committing a firearm violation.
In March 2021, a federal undercover agent organized the acquisition of several weapons from Johnson, according to Habba. After handing over one firearm, Johnson was asked by the agent about additional weaponry he had committed to selling, as stated by Habba.
Johnson aimed the loaded weapon at the undercover officer and asked for money, according to Habba. After giving Johnson some cash, the undercover agent was instructed to leave the car under threat of force, as Habba stated.
When he exited the car, the agent brandished their weapon and shot at Johnson, striking him in the shoulder, according to Habba. In response, Johnson discharged his pistol several times towards the agent, as stated by Habba. After obtaining the funds, Johnson made an escape but was subsequently recognized when brought to a nearby medical facility, Habba mentioned.
