A man who distributed crack cocaine while on parole was
sentenced on April 17, 2020, to more than four years in federal prison.
Kelshawn Markell Marshall, age 31, from Dubuque, Iowa,
received the prison term after a November 4, 2019 guilty plea to one count of
distribution of a controlled substance near a protected location.
In a plea agreement, Marshall admitted he sold crack cocaine
on four different occasions, all of which occurred near Loras College in
Dubuque, Iowa. Law enforcement then
searched Marshall’s home. Officers found
more crack cocaine during the search.
Marshall was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States
District Court Judge C.J. Williams.
Marshall was sentenced to fifty-six months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a six-year term of
supervised release after the prison term.
There is no parole in the federal system.
Marshall is being held in the United States Marshal’s
custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States
Attorney Dillan Edwards and investigated by the Dubuque Drug Task Force.
