Baltimore重罪犯家暴后持枪认罪：曾持枪威胁伴侣，最高面临15年监禁
位于马里兰州的 Baltimore 市男子 Marquis Thomas（34岁）已就一桩家庭暴力事件引发的联邦持枪指控认罪。美国检察官 Kelly O. Hayes 与烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）特别探员主管 Charles Doerrer、Baltimore 警察局局长 Richard Worley 共同宣布了这一认罪。
Thomas 此前有重罪定罪记录，依法被禁止持有枪支与弹药。根据认罪协议，2025年10月30日，Baltimore 警察局接到一通涉及枪支的家暴报警；警员到场后，受害人开门表示 Thomas 已经离开，并带警员走进客厅、指认沙发上放着一把手枪。
受害人还告诉警员，Thomas 曾三次击打她的面部，随后用枪指着她说：「我现在就该杀了你。」
Thomas 认的罪名是被禁人员持有枪支与弹药，最高可判15年监禁。联邦地区法院法官 Adam B. Abelson 已将量刑定于2027年1月28日下午2时进行；实际刑期通常低于法定最高刑，由法官依据量刑指南等因素裁定。
此案是司法部「安全社区计划」与「安全家园计划」的一部分，后者依《反对针对妇女暴力法》设立，专门针对有家暴史、持有手枪的施暴者，以防家暴升级为致命暴力。马里兰区联邦检察官办公室表彰了 ATF 与 Baltimore 警察局的调查工作，此案由特别助理检察官 Kathleen Godwin 负责起诉。
Baltimore Felon Pleads Guilty to Firearm Charge after Domestic-Violence Incident
Marquis Thomas, 34, of Baltimore, Maryland, has pleaded guilty to a federal firearm-possession charge stemming from a domestic-violence incident. Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, announced the guilty plea with Special Agent in Charge Charles Doerrer of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Commissioner Richard Worley of the Baltimore Police Department.
Thomas is prohibited from possessing a firearm and ammunition due to a prior felony conviction. According to the plea agreement, on October 30, 2025, the Baltimore Police Department received a call about a domestic assault involving a firearm. When officers arrived at the residence, the victim opened the door and told them Thomas had left, then led them into the living room and pointed to a handgun on the couch.
The victim also reported that Thomas hit her in the face three times before pointing a gun at her and saying, "I should kill you right now."
Thomas faces a maximum of 15 years in prison for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. U.S. District Court Judge Adam B. Abelson set sentencing for Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2027, at 2 p.m. Actual sentences are typically less than the maximum penalties and are determined by a federal district judge after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The prosecution is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods and Project Safe Home, the latter an initiative under the Violence Against Women Act that targets offenders with a history of domestic violence who possess handguns, in order to prevent escalation to lethal violence. U.S. Attorney Hayes commended the ATF and the Baltimore Police Department for the investigation; Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathleen Godwin is prosecuting the case.
