Final Defendant Pleads Guilty in Home Invasion Robbery Plot
Garrett Koffmoore, the eleventh and final defendant in a 2011 home invasion robbery over marijuana where victims were bound with duct tape and held at gunpoint, pleaded guilty on Friday.
The eleventh and final defendant in a 2011 Cotati home invasion robbery that targeted victims for their marijuana pleaded guilty on Friday to robbery and drug possession charges, according to the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office.
Garrett Koffmoore, of Woodland Hills, Calif., pleaded guilty today in a negotiated plea bargain in return for a sentence of four years and eight months in state prison, prosecutors said. Koffmoore is one of 11 defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 22, 2011 robbery, in which he and others drove from Southern California to Sonoma County in order to rob the victims for marijuana.
The victims, who lived on La Salle Avenue in Cotati, were bound with duct tape and held at gunpoint while the defendants stole their wallets, cell phones and electronic equipment. Five suspects were arrested after two vehicles fleeing the scene were stopped. Six others were apprehended later, including Koffmoore who made it back to Southern California before he was arrested.
