College Station Police Arrest 23-Year-Old Marquise Shields for Multiple Charges Including Burglary and Gun Possession
College Station, Texas – A 23-year-old man named Marquise Shields was arrested by the College Station Police Department (CSPD) following an attempted car break-in in the Oney Hervey Road area. Shields faces multiple charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, following his apprehension on the night of the incident.
The CSPD responded swiftly to reports of the attempted burglary, where Shields was observed trying to break into a vehicle. Upon their arrival, officers noted Shields fleeing from the scene. He attempted to evade arrest by jumping over a fence but was quickly apprehended by police in a nearby area.
During the arrest, law enforcement officers discovered that Shields was in possession of a loaded firearm. As a previously convicted felon, he is not legally permitted to carry a firearm, leading to further charges against him. The total bond amount set for Shields is $12,000.
Shields now faces a total of seven charges:
- Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon
- Theft of a Firearm
- Evading Arrest
- Three counts of Burglary of Vehicles
- Parole Violation
This incident is part of a larger enforcement operation conducted by the CSPD’s CSTEP Flex squad and patrol units. This program aims to reduce crime rates and ensure greater public safety in the College Station area.
In a separate incident that occurred around the same time, police made two additional arrests during a narcotics investigation. James Earl “JT” Toney and Neiandra Washington were apprehended on drug and firearm-related charges after a SWAT team executed a search warrant at a local residence. Law enforcement officials recovered a variety of illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy pills, alongside a stolen Sig-Sauer P365 pistol.
Toney faces serious charges, including manufacturing and delivering controlled substances as well as theft of a firearm. Meanwhile, Washington has been charged with possession of a controlled substance. Because the drugs were found in a designated drug-free zone, the charges against both individuals have been enhanced, leading to potentially harsher penalties.
A third person in the home during the search was identified as a guest and has been released without charge.
The efforts by the CSPD to combat crime through coordinated operations highlight the ongoing commitment to enhancing public safety. The department continues to focus on both prevention and enforcement to address illegal activities in the community.
In summary, the arrest of Marquise Shields serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement in maintaining order and safety in urban areas while also emphasizing the importance of community vigilance.
