Former Marijuana Warehouse Employee Convicted of Planning $2 Million Armed Heist with Corrupt L.A. County Sheriffs DeputyLOS ANGELES A former employee of a marijuana distribution warehouse was found guilty by a jury today of federal criminal charges that he conspired with a corrupt Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department deputy to rob his former employer of $2 million dollars worth of marijuana and cash through an armed robbery staged to look like a legitimate law enforcement operation.
Christopher Myung Kim, 29, of Walnut, was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, conspiracy against rights, deprivation of rights under color of law, and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to evidence presented at his four-day trial, at approximately 3 a.m. on October 29, 2018, LASD Deputy Marc Antrim, 42, of South El Monte, and six co-conspirators, robbed a marijuana distribution warehouse in downtown Los Angeles. Antrim, who was assigned to the LASD station in Temple City, was arrested by federal authorities for his role in the robbery and agreed to cooperate with the government. Antrim, who was dressed as an armed deputy, flashed his badge and a fake search warrant to gain access to the warehouse and detain the warehouses security guards in a cage in the back of an LASD Ford Explorer.
Days before the robbery, Kim had supplied Antrim with inside information about the robbery, including key details about the warehouses layout, operation and security. Kim also gave Antrim the warehouses blueprints, noting where security guards likely would be stationed and which rooms Antrim and their co-conspirators should hit to ensure that the most valuable items were stolen.
