Travis L. Marshall, 35, of Rochester, NY, Indicted on Drug and Gun Charges

A federal grand jury in Rochester has returned a three-count indictment charging Travis L. Marshall, 35, also known as Famous and Fame, with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.

The charges carry a minimum penalty of five years in prison, a maximum of life, and a $250,000 fine. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Marangola is handling the case.

According to the indictment, on March 10, 2015, Marshall was arrested operating a vehicle that contained marijuana and a loaded, .380 caliber pistol with a defaced serial number. The defendant was convicted in June 2003 in Monroe County court, which prevented him from legally possessing a gun.

The indictment is the culmination of a wiretap investigation conducted by the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Craig Hanesworth, the Rochester Police Department, under the direction of Chief Michael Ciminelli, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Delano A. Reid, New York Field Division, and the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office, under the direction of Sandra Doorley.

Marshall is currently being held without bail pending a detention hearing. If convicted, he faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of life, along with a $250,000 fine.

U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced the indictment, stating that the charges demonstrate a commitment to combating the flow of illicit substances into the community.
