CEDAR RAPIDS – An Iowa man, responsible for possessing a gun while using marijuana and being a felon, was sentenced today to 60 months in prison.
Marcus Lynn Brown, Jr., age 20, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, received the prison sentence after a November 10, 2020 guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Information disclosed at sentencing and at his plea hearing showed that, in May 2020, Cedar Rapids police officers stopped a vehicle Brown was a passenger in because Brown had active arrest warrants. Once the vehicle stopped, Brown tried to run from police and fought with them as he was being arrested. Brown left a gun in the vehicle just before running. Officers located the gun, which was loaded. The gun had Brown’s DNA on it. Brown had marijuana in his pocket and tested positive for using marijuana. Brown has five prior adult criminal convictions, three of which involved violence or firearms.
Brown was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. Brown was sentenced to 60 months’ imprisonment. He was ordered to make payment of $100 to the special assessment fund. He must also serve a 3-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ashley Corkery and investigated by the Cedar Rapids Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
There are about 25 of them that look the same here in mason city. When it comes to black males we shouldnjustbarreat them and charge them as we learn about the crimes they are and where engaged in. THEY are ALL CRIMINALS we should just incarcerate them at 18nfornthe terrible and horrible things they will do if left to their own devices. That species is dangerous and unpredictable. We need to start educating females not to engage in beastialty with these animals as it is further destroying society. Black men are a plague upon the earth plain and simple. Watch the mudsharks start swarming this post lol.
Must be a mis-print. I’m sure our court system let him go. Putting a colored man in prison? A definite case of abuse of power!
