Convicted felon Stephan Marshall is facing the harsh reality of nearly five years behind bars after being sentenced for possessing a firearm in Jacksonville, Florida.
On April 10, 2022, Marshall was arrested during a traffic stop in Jacksonville, where officers recovered two firearms and narcotics from the vehicle. A three-month-old infant was in the back seat of the vehicle at the time of the arrest.
Marshall’s guilty plea on September 22, 2022, marked the beginning of the end for the convicted felon. U.S. District Judge Brian J. Davis handed down the sentence, ordering Marshall to serve four years and nine months in federal prison.
According to court documents, Marshall was previously convicted of multiple felony offenses, making him prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.
The case was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant United States Attorney John Cannizzaro prosecuted the case, while Assistant United States Attorney Mai Tran handled the forfeiture.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence in communities nationwide. Launched on May 26, 2021, the program focuses on fostering trust and legitimacy in communities, supporting community-based organizations, setting strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring results.
Marshall’s sentencing is a stark reminder of the consequences of breaking the law. As he begins his nearly five-year prison sentence, the people of Jacksonville can rest a little easier knowing that justice has been served.
