CEDAR RAPIDS – This Michigan felon found himself drunk in North Iowa and set upon choking and spitting on his abuse victim, and now he will be calling a federal prison home for quite some time.
Marquise Darius Dickerson (pictured at top), age 33, from Monroe, Michigan, received over four years in prison on September 26, 2025, after an April 17, 2025 guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a felon.
In August 2024, law enforcement officers in Oelwein, Iowa, responded to a report of an assault. The victim reported that Dickerson had spat and choked the victim. At the time of the assault, Dickerson was intoxicated. During a search of the residence, law enforcement officers located Dickerson’s firearm. Dickerson is prohibited from possessing a firearm because he is a felon.
Dickerson was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Chief Judge C.J. Williams. Dickerson was sentenced to 52 months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Dickerson is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nicole Nagin and investigated by the Oelwein Police Department and the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence
