SHREVEPORT, La — A Shreveport man who pleaded guilty in Caddo District Court a year ago to drug and weapons possession charges stemming from a November 2022 arrest was re-sentenced Tuesday, August 20, 2024 as a habitual offender.
Mack Treshaun Marshall, 37, originally had been sentenced August 21, 2023, to terms of varying lengths for the seven crimes to which he pleaded guilty, with one sentence, for the seventh charge he confessed to, netting him a 20-year term without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.
Marshall, of the 2500 block of Jones Mabry Road, made his guilty pleas before Caddo District Judge Erin Leigh Waddell Garrett, who also presided over today’s proceedings.
The conviction for which Marshall was sentenced as a habitual offender was the sixth count, illegal carrying of weapons, a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun and an SCCY 9mm handgun, while in possession of the controlled dangerous substances cocaine, methamphetamine, buprenorphine, lisdexamfetamine and amphetamine. He originally had been sentenced to eight years without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence. That sentence was vacated and he pleaded guilty to the multiple offender bill, receiving a 15-year sentence.
Marshall’s other charges, and the sentences originally imposed, were as follows:
* Count 1: Possession with intent to distribute Schedule II methamphetamine, 28 grams or more, 10 years.
* Count 2: Possession with intent to distribute Schedule II cocaine, 28 grams or more, 15 years.
* Count 3: Possession with intent to distribute Schedule II lisdexamfetamine, less than 28 grams, seven years.
* Count 4: Possession with intent to distribute Schedule II amphetamine, less than 28 grams, seven years.
* Count 5: Possession with intent to distribute Schedule III buprenorphine,
seven years.
* Count 7: Possession of a firearm, a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun and an SCCY 9mm handgun by a convicted felon, having previously been convicted of possession of a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance on January 22, 2019, 20 years without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.
The terms, stemming from a single incident, are being served concurrently.
On November 1, 2022, Caddo Parish deputies executed a search warrant at Marshall’s residence in the 1700 block of Peach Street. The search turned up more than 30 grams of cocaine, more than 120 grams of methamphetamine and various amounts of buprenorphine, amphetamine and lisdexamfetamine, as well as packaging material. Deputies also recovered the handguns, along with proof Marshall lived at the residence.
Assistant District Attorneys Ross Owen and Michael Anderson prosecuted the case. Marshall was defended by Hilary Hileman.
The case was docket No. 392212.
