FARGO (KFGO) – A Fargo man arrested and charged with robbing a mail carrier at gunpoint in Frontier south of Fargo last summer has has signed a guilty plea agreement to one count of robbery of mail and one count of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
According to court documents, on July 17, 22-year-old Deshaun Holmes pointed a gun at the mail carrier and demanded a key used to open multiple mailboxes in Fargo. When the mail carrier initially handed Holmes a vehicle key, Holmes asked the mail carrier if he wanted to get shot.

Holmes faces a minimum of seven years and a maximum of 25 years in federal prison. A plea hearing has not been set.
