A Wilson County jury sentenced Max Marroquin, Jr. to six years in prison yesterday. Jurors heard testimony that on February 24, 2018, Marroquin threatened the victim with a firearm while the defendant’s son was present. After the jury verdict, Marroquin also pled guilty to Possession of Controlled Substance for two years in prison. Thank you to the jury for answering the call to serve, and seeing that justice was done. The justice system does not work without jurors' willingness to serve. While our servicemen and women continue to selflessly serve in dangerous conditions, jury duty is one way everyone can contribute and serve our country. Thank you to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office and specifically the tireless work of deputies Joseph Martinez, Darrell Collins, Rodney Wigley and former deputy Matthew Flynn. Special thanks to Assistant District Attorneys Marc Ledet and Lorena Whitney for prosecuting the case.
