DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man who opened fire on officers serving a warrant in Stuart, has pleaded guilty to federal gun and drug charges. 52-year old Randall Comly is scheduled to be sentenced June 12th in Des Moines. He pleaded guilty this month to possession of methamphetamine for sale and two weapons charges.

Comly is accused of firing a handgun at officers on Oct. 17, 2019, as they tried to arrest him on a warrant for second-degree arson, inside a Stuart apartment complex. The exchange of gunfire injured three law enforcement officers and Comly.
