Marcus Dupree Hurry, Aggravated Assault, Alabama 2012

Monroeville Man Sentenced for Aggravated Assault

A federal judge sentenced Marcus Dupree Hurry, 22, of Monroeville, to seven years in prison for his assault on a Deputy United States Marshal in February 2012, announced George L. Beck, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama.

Hurry was convicted of aggravated assault on a federal officer, a felony offense that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

The assault occurred on February 28, 2012, when Hurry attempted to flee from law enforcement in Prattville, Alabama. He was driving a Chevy Impala with Leslie McMillian, a wanted fugitive, in the vehicle.

After a high-speed chase, Hurry collided with another vehicle and then attempted to drive away from law enforcement, striking a Deputy United States Marshal in the process.

The Deputy Marshal was able to shoot Hurry in the arm to prevent further harm, and Hurry and McMillian were subsequently arrested and charged with various crimes.

“Law enforcement officers valiantly risk their lives every day to protect our citizens,” stated U.S. Attorney Beck. “We must do all we can to keep them safe from those criminals that try to do them harm.”

Hurry was sentenced to seven years in the Bureau of Prisons, followed by two years of supervised release and a $100 court assessment fee. A hearing to determine restitution owed to the victim who was injured in the collision will be held within the next 90 days.

The case was investigated by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, the United States Marshal’s Service, and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Susan R. Redmond and Jared Morris.
