Hunter Talon Marlow, Firearms Possession, Oregon 2022
A Medford man with a history of involvement in shootings was sentenced to federal prison after being found in possession of a firearm.
Hunter Talon Marlow, 26, was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison and three years' supervised release.
According to court documents, on October 20, 2021, a witness contacted law enforcement after observing Marlow actively searching for a person who had shot at him in an attempt to retaliate.
Marlow, who was previously convicted and served time in prison for shootings in 2014 and 2017, was prohibited from using or possessing a firearm.
Later on October 20, an officer from the Medford Police Department observed Marlow driving and attempted a felony traffic stop. After initially refusing to comply, Marlow surrendered to officers and was arrested.
Officers found a loaded semi-automatic pistol with an attached 40-round drum magazine in Marlow's car.
On February 3, 2022, a federal grand jury in Medford returned an indictment charging Marlow with illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon.
On June 22, 2022, Marlow pleaded guilty to the single charge.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Medford Police Department. It was prosecuted by Marco Boccato, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
Marlow's previous convictions for shootings in 2014 and 2017, demonstrate his history of involvement in violent crime.
The 60-month prison sentence is a significant consequence for Marlow's actions, and serves as a reminder of the severity of firearms possession laws in the United States.
