Damarcus Glenn, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Tennessee 2019

Convicted felon Damarcus Glenn, 19, of Humboldt, Tennessee, has been sentenced to federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm. On March 25, 2018, the Humboldt Police Department conducted a traffic stop on a Ford Mustang for speeding. During the search, officers found two .40 caliber Smith and Wesson pistols and a 9mm pistol in the vehicle, as well as 21.4 grams of marijuana in the possession of a juvenile.

According to court documents, Glenn and his accomplice, Jordan Powell, are members of the 83rd Criminal Gang. In an attempt to avoid prosecution, Glenn and Powell tried to get a juvenile to take the gun charge, with Glenn being a convicted felon. However, agents overheard Glenn and Powell speaking to each other through the jail cells in the Humboldt Police Department, with Glenn trying to get Powell to take the charge for him.

On April 17, 2018, the United States Marshals Service was serving an arrest warrant for Glenn in Humboldt, Tennessee, for violation of probation. During the search of the apartment, agents found a 9mm Springfield Armory pistol in plain view on the bed.

U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant stated, 'Now more than ever, it is crucial that we remove firearms from dangerous and prohibited people, and remove violent gang offenders with firearms from our communities.' This conviction and sentence demonstrate our commitment to use all of the laws provided by Congress to target and incapacitate violent gang members with guns before they pull the trigger.

On June 11, 2019, U.S. District Court Judge S. Thomas Anderson sentenced Glenn to 46 months in federal prison followed by 3 years supervised release. Glenn also faces charges in Rutherford County for violation of probation and charges in Gibson County for attempted first-degree murder in a 2015 shooting incident.

This case was investigated by the Humboldt Police Department; 28th, 29th, and 30th Judicial District West Tennessee Violent Crimes and Drug Task Force; and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Hillary Lawler Parham prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
