Felon Sentenced to 90 Months for Gun Possession
A 39-year-old Marston man has been sentenced to 90 months in federal prison for being a previously convicted felon in possession of a firearm, the United States Attorney’s Office announced today.
The sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Rodney W. Sippel at the federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on the defendant, MARCO M. DEBOSE.
According to court documents, law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at Debose’s residence in September 2020 and discovered three firearms and various drug paraphernalia items inside the residence. During a guilty plea hearing earlier this summer, Debose admitted the firearms belonged to him.
Debose was prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law because of his previous felony convictions, including convictions for domestic assault and stealing-related offenses.
After serving the 90-month sentence, Debose will be placed on supervised release for three years, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
The case was investigated by the Southeast Missouri Drug Task Force and the New Madrid County Sheriff’s Department. Assistant United States Attorney Jack Koester handled the prosecution for the government.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Debose’s sentence serves as a reminder of the consequences of violating federal laws related to firearms possession.
Debose’s case is a stark reminder that violating federal laws related to firearms possession can have severe consequences.
