On Sept. 25, 2017, Gonangnan made off with $1,200 from the drive-up window of Caffe D’Arte.
The men attempted a second robbery but a barista called 911. Gonangnan fled with no cash.
Police spotted their SUV and rammed it. Gonangnan fired at a patrol car but other officers rammed the SUV again and arrested Gonangnan and 36-year-old Shane Twigg.
Twigg will be sentenced Dec. 5.
