David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that MARQUES ISIAH LINDSAY, 37, of Bridgeport, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport to 60 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release for unlawfully possessing a firearm.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on September 17, 2023, Bridgeport Police attempted to stop a vehicle in which Lindsay was a passenger in the area of Washington Terrace in Bridgeport. When the vehicle pulled over, Lindsay exited from the back seat and attempted to flee on foot. Lindsay was quickly apprehended and a search of his person revealed a loaded Glock 26 9mm handgun with an extended magazine, another extended magazine, and $420 in cash.

Lindsay's criminal history spans approximately 20 years and includes felony convictions in state court for drug, robbery, larceny, and other offenses. It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.

Lindsay has been detained since his arrest. On October 1, 2025, he pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

This investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Bridgeport Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Gresham.
