Convicted felon pleads guilty to federal firearm charge after high-speed pursuit in Green River

A man living in Green River, Wyoming, was sentenced on July 28, 2026, after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Cameron Justin Agee, 31, with no known address, was sentenced to 30 months' imprisonment with three years of supervised release for possession of a firearm.

According to court documents, on July 3, 2025, law enforcement officers were executing a search warrant at a residence in Green River on an unrelated investigation when they encountered Agee, who had an active arrest warrant. As officers approached his vehicle, Agee reversed into an unmarked state vehicle before fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed. During the pursuit, Agee threw two loaded .22-caliber pistols from his vehicle near the intersection of Indian Hills Drive and Shoshone Road before returning to the original location and surrendering to law enforcement. One of the firearms had been reported stolen. Agee is prohibited from possessing firearms due to a 2017 Wyoming burglary conviction and multiple felony convictions in Utah.

Agee was indicted on March 18 and pleaded guilty of May 7. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Kelly H. Rankin imposed the sentence on July 28 in Cheyenne.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the case with assistance from the Green River Police Department, the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office, and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Elmore prosecuted the case.

This case was bought as Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the Department of Justice's nationwide initiative that brings federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, prosecutors, and other public safety partners together to coordinate efforts to combat violent crime and make communities safe. Coordinated by U.S. Attorneys' offices in each of the 94 federal districts, PSN is tailored to particular communities to strategically address specific violent crime and public safety challenges. As a key component of Operation Take Back America, PSN serves a central role in the

Department's commitment to make our country safe. PSN emphasizes three core principles: rapid federal response to violent crime and criminal offenders; strong, strategic partnerships among law enforcement at all levels; and accountability and deterrence through the prosecution of the most serious, readily provable offenses and other strategies. These efforts complement and strengthen President Trump's Homeland Security Task Forces, ensuring a comprehensive federal response to the most pressing public safety issues facing communities.
