The U.S. Attorney's Office says 25-year-old Randy Coy James Holmes will spend over two decades behind bars for shooting an undercover ATF agent during an attempted robbery in 2021.
In November 2021, Holmes along with two codefendants met the undercover agent to exchange a firearm for methamphetamine.
During the exchange, Holmes pointed a gun at the agent and attempted to rob him. The agent pulled their gun and Holmes shot the agent several times causing serious and permanent bodily injury.
Holmes pled guilty in March of 2023.
“This tragic case demonstrates the danger and violence that too frequently occurs when convicted felons possess firearms and engage in illegal drug trafficking,” stated U.S. Attorney Waldref. “I am grateful for the exceptional courage and bravery of law enforcement officers, who put their personal safety at risk to protect our community, and I commend the ATF agents involved for their exceptional professionalism in rendering life-saving aid to Mr. Holmes before he could be treated at a hospital. Our community is stronger as a result of these agents’ tremendous service. My heart goes out to the undercover ATF agent and his family. They have made tremendous sacrifices to ensure the safety of the community. I commend him for his service and thank all of the brave men and women who led the investigation and prosecution in this case.”
