    • Trivia
      In 1977, he was convicted of the 1975 murders of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ron Williams. He was serving a life sentence for the double homicide. Although he has openly admitted to shooting at the agents, he denies that he fired the fatal shots. In 2025, President Joe Biden commuted his life sentence and he was released from prison that year.
