SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Adam Fuller, 36, of Sacramento, pleaded guilty today to assault on a federal employee or officer, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.
According to court documents, on Aug. 27, 2019, Fuller approached a Federal Court Security Officer outside the federal courthouse in Sacramento and punched him in the face. The punch knocked the officer to the ground and split open his forehead, requiring five stitches.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Protective Services, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Sacramento Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron L. Desmond is prosecuting the case.
Fuller is set to be sentenced on Jan. 9, 2023, by U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller. Fuller faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
