"Some of the firearms were found with altered serial numbers. Also recovered were items connected to various burglaries and entering autos reported within SCMPD’s Central, Southside and Islands Precincts."
CNT arrested 20-year-old Marques Deshaun Johnson. Johnson was charged with multiple felonies including Manufacturing Marijuana, Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute, four counts of Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony and Possession of a Firearm with an Altered Serial Number. Additional charges and arrests are expected.
