Greenbelt, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Paul W. Grimm
sentenced Terrance Milik Marshall, age 41, of Scaggsville, Maryland, yesterday
to eight years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for
illegally possessing two firearms in a school zone.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the
District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge William P.
McMullan of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore
Field Division; and Chief Mark A. Magaw of the Prince George’s County Police
Department.
According to Marshall=s plea agreement, on February 7, 2014,
during a routine patrol, law enforcement observed Marshall’s vehicle idling an
a non-residential area in Hyattsville, within 1,000 feet of a school. Marshall
was sitting in the vehicle smoking a cigar. When the officer got out and
approached Marshall’s vehicle, Marshall jumped out and refused to return to his
vehicle. Marshall told the officer “I don’t want to talk to you. I’m leaving,”
then locked his car using the key-fob, and took off running. The officer caught
up with Marshall and detained him.
Upon returning to the vehicle, the officer shined his
flashlight into the vehicle and saw a 9mm firearm with an extended magazine in
an orange bag on the front passenger seat. Marshall was then placed under
arrest. On February 6, 2014, Marshall had been parked in the school zone at the
same location and had in his possession at that time a semiautomatic firearm.
Both firearms were recovered from the orange bag, loaded with 30 and 15 rounds
of 9mm ammunition, respectively.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the ATF
and Prince George’s County Police Department for their work in the
investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney David I.
Salem and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Sykes, of the U.S.
Department of Justice, Organized Crime and Gang Section, who prosecuted the
case.
