Mark Abercrombie, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Louisiana 2024

MONROE, La. – A Monroe man has been sentenced to 132 months in federal prison for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, announced United States Attorney Brandon B. Brown today.

Mark Abercrombie, 45, of Monroe, was sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Terry A. Doughty to 132 months (11 years) in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. On October 22, 2022, Abercrombie was the driver and sole occupant involved in a one-vehicle crash in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. He fled the scene prior to the arrival of Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies. Inside Abercrombie’s vehicle, deputies found a Ruger Model LC9 9×19 pistol and ammunition and .22 caliber ammunition. Abercrombie was a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal history, including nine felony convictions, and knew he was prohibited from possessing any firearm or ammunition.

Abercrombie was subsequently arrested and charged with illegally possessing the firearm and ammunition. He pleaded guilty and admitted to the charge on April 19, 2024. This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Monroe Police Department, and Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Seth D. Reeg and Special Assistant United States Attorney Catherine L. Semmes.

“Keeping firearms out of the wrong hands is a priority of the United States government,” said United States Attorney Brandon B. Brown. “These investigations are in line with our commitment of partnering with our local district attorneys and law enforcement agencies to curb gun violence in Ouachita Parish and all of northeast Louisiana. These defendants have no regard for the law and given their conduct and criminal histories, these sentences are fair. Justice has been served.”

Abercrombie is a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal history, including nine felony convictions. He was prohibited from possessing any firearm or ammunition but did so anyway.
