The Justice Department issued the following statement.
Former Hinds County Sheriff Marshand Crisler was sentenced today to 30 months in prison for soliciting and accepting bribes and for knowingly providing ammunition to a convicted felon. Crisler was also ordered to pay a $15,000 fine. Crisler, 55, was appointed as Sheriff of Hinds County in August 2021. The evidence at trial showed that shortly after becoming Sheriff, Crisler solicited and accepted $9,500 in cash bribes from a convicted felon over three months, from September through November of 2021. In exchange for that money, Crisler agreed to provide favors through his position as Hinds County Sheriff. These favors included sharing information concerning future criminal investigations involving the bribe payor, moving a jailed family member to a better place within the Hinds County Jail, and hiring the bribe payor to work at the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office. Crisler also gave ammunition to the bribe payor, knowing that the person was a convicted felon. On November 8, 2024, a federal jury found Crisler guilty on all counts, following a three-day trial in U.S. District Court in Jackson. It is against federal law for a public official to solicit or accept bribes, and it is also against federal law for anyone to provide firearm ammunition to a known convicted felon. Acting U.S. Attorney Patrick Lemon of the Southern District of Mississippi and Special Agent in Charge Robert Eikhoff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation made the announcement. The FBI investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Bert Carraway and Charles W. Kirkham prosecuted the case.Kingfish note: The court docket states:
Minute Entry for proceedings held before District Judge Tom S. Lee:Sentencing held on 2/11/2025 for Marshand Crisler (1). On each of Counts 1 and 2, Defendant is sentenced to 30 months in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, concurrent, followed by a 3-year term of supervised release, and a $15,000 fine. The court recommended that defendant be assigned to the nearest facility to Jackson, Mississippi.

Wonder which club fed he'll be relaxing in?
He got 60 months
Maybe when Lumumba gets there they can bunk together.
Crisler threw his life away for $9,500. I continue to be amazed at how cheap elected officials can be bought.
I just heard a loud ass clap way over here.
He fit right in as a Hinds County/Jackson officeholder--untrustworthy.
Stupid is as stupid does.
The poster child of a southern sheriff.
Next up - the mayor and the DA
You think Crisler dropped a "what about him" to the FBI on Lumumba?
1 down, 20 to go
Message here -- Chockwe, Jody: Yall need to listen up and pay attention.
" It is against federal law for a public official to solicit or accept bribes".
Crisler got 30 months for a littlee $9,500 cash bribe; nothing like those you picked up on the yacht prior to the strip club (or was it after, I lose track). And there weren't the kind of witnesses -- you know, your 'dates' for the trip on hand for Crisler. Nor were there audio and video tapes.
Need to think about this as you traverse the next few months, and wonder whether the other public official that accepted a bribe, you know - the one you sent to the kiddy table - might be talking about this very clause with folks as we speak.
Hope you sleep good tonight - and tomorrow. Time's running out.
You couldn't pay me to do anything wrong i don't want to be nowhere near anyone's Jail man 2 1/2 years sheesh i hope my friend down the street is paying attention the feds want all the smoke. Message to him though i know he read posts & the comments tap out while you can you see how much time they gave for $9,500 $50K though? it's not worth fighting.
@2:33 They're all so dumb they think as long as they accept under $10k, they'll never be investigated.
Marshand Crisler was shot in the leg.
Maybe by the time Crisler gets paroled Rukia will have paid her property taxes.
Jody Owens mafia style will be a hoot in Court, if he testifies. Lumumba will be the same lying scoundrel we've known for eight years, employing every fallacy trick he knows, just to convince a single juror the he, Lil Choke, is the Savior of the Black race.
2:33 - you are assuming that the $9,500 that he got caught with - this time - was the only money that led to his throwing his life away.
That's like bellieving that the $50k on the yacht for Baby Chock, or the couple hundred grand for our upstanding DA, is the only $$$s that they have taken over the course of their "public service".
Anyone that believes $50k for the convention center hotel deal is Chock's only bribe wasn't paying attention as he played the system to get his Detroit buddies in on the collection of trash (via a garbage contract) here in the City with Soul. Much more to be uncovered as that trash is unpiled.
@2:16pm - isn’t the closest Fed Pen in Yazoo?
3:28 - One down, no telling how many more to go.
He’s been a government grifter his entire adult life. Looks like he will get free room and board for a few more years.
Crisler attorney John(not guilty)Colette stated that the star witness was a convicted felon! So what! Why was the interim Sheriff warm and fuzzy with a convicted felon? Why did he give and or sell a convicted felon a gun and ammunition? Now I’m just an ignorant and misunderstood old man but I ain’t that stupid!
Play stupid games, go directly to federal prison. I don’t know Mr Crisler but I wish him well.
As the giving Crisler the position of interim Sheriff, I blame the Hinds County Supervisors for even giving Crisler a second thought. Dang y’all messed up this man’s life!
Crisler do not keep giving your defense attorneys money. This ain’t Hinds County’s Kangaroo Court! Do your time and do better in the future. You’re a man built for prison. 30 months ain’t long! Just don’t tattoo your face!!!
Don't bribe me, just make a campaign donation to me.
Just glad his mother was not around to see today. She was one of the most wonderful women I have ever known. A true class act. Dad is good people also.
30 months on each of two counts = 60 months = five years. Kept waiting for 'with 54 months suspended'.
Did he bring his empty suit Beverly Hogan? Ruined her reputation supporting this shallow clown.
It is, but they don’t usually send them to one that close to home. By the way, Yazoo is not a Club Fed.
@7:08 PM The two 30 month sentences are to be served concurrently, so effectively 30 months.
