SAVANNAH, Georgia: An assault on a federal officer and using a firearm during the assault land two Savannah men in federal prison.

The sentences were imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood and announced by Margaret E. "Meg" Heap, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia.

Terry Rashad Flaggs, 19, of Savannah, was sentenced to 111 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to Assault on a Federal Officer and Using a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence.

Jaidyn Jaquan Greene, 20, of Savannah, was sentenced to 111 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to Assault on a Federal Officer and Using a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence.

There is no parole in the federal system.

According to court documents and testimony, in November 2025, the two defendants were in possession of a stolen firearm which they were attempting to sell. The investigation began when the victim found his stolen firearm, a Glock Model 34, 9 mm pistol, for sale on a social media outlet and immediately notified the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. An undercover agent with the ATF arranged to meet up and conduct a controlled purchase of the stolen firearm.

During the exchange, Flaggs and Greene attempted to overpower the agent, brandishing a Palmetto State Armory Dagger, 9 mm pistol, and demanding the stolen firearm after receiving payment. A scuffle ensued and Savannah Police Department officers observing the operation converged on the defendants who attempted to flee on foot. Law enforcement officers pursued and apprehended the defendants and recovered both firearms.

"The brazen actions of these defendants show a complete disregard for the law and the safety of our entire community," said U.S. Attorney Heap. "Thanks to the swift action of the ATF and the Savannah Police Department, these dangerous individuals were apprehended before their violent behavior could cause further harm."

This case was investigated by the ATF and the Savannah Police Department.

"Attempting to take a firearm by force put the undercover agent and the public at serious risk," said ATF Assistant Special Agent in Charge Brian Graves. "ATF and our partners will continue to hold accountable those who use violence to traffic in illegal firearms."

This case was prosecuted for the United States by Southern District of Georgia Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer J. Kirkland.
