14 year sentence for West Columbia man

Posted

Bradley Apollos "Kuntry" Thompson, 28, of West Columbia was sentenced in federal court after pleading guilty to 2 counts of assaulting a federal law enforcement officer while resisting arrest and one count of aiding and abetting in a Hobbs Act robbery.  

Senior United States District Judge Joseph F. Anderson, of Columbia, sentenced Thompson to 170 months in federal prison, to be followed by 3 years of court-ordered supervision.  
There is no parole in the federal system.

Evidence presented at the change of plea hearing established that on February 5, 2017, Thompson, Tiffany Metze, and Noah Billie conspired to rob a local methamphetamine dealer named Bruce "Zues" Hudson.

The day of the incident, Thompson drove Metze and Thompson to Hudson’s home.  Metze lured Hudson to the front yard where Billie shot Hudson in the torso.  Thompson drove the conspirators away from the crime.  

Deputies with the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department responded to Hudson’s home and found him shot in the front yard.  Hudson was hospitalized for his injuries.

Noah Billie was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison, followed by a term of supervised release of 5 years.  

Metze was sentenced to 57 months, followed by a term of supervised release of 3 years.

The case was investigated by the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department, the Columbia Police Department, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, the United States Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  
Assistant United States Attorney JD Rowell of the Columbia office prosecuted the case.
