A convicted felon will spend time in federal prison for assaulting a federal task force officer with a gun.
“Pharms is a repeat violent offender who callously threatened the safety of citizens and a law enforcement officer,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “Our office is grateful for the exemplary collaborative efforts and sacrificial service of our federal and local law enforcement partners who work tirelessly to especially protect our communities from dangerous criminals.”
In Feb. 2022, Pharms used his mother’s car to steal a Dodge Charger from a garage in a midtown Atlanta complex eight days after his release from a Georgia State prison.

An 18-year-old co-defendant drove the Chevy, while another co-defendant, Jokava Harris, accompanied Pharms to the garage.
Harris, officials said used a key programmer to steal the Charger and the co-defendant trailed the stolen Dodge Charger in the Chevy with Pharms in the passenger seat acting as an armed escort.
