The attorney’s office said that in December 2024, he pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property and was sentenced to five years of post-release supervision, but because of the alleged incident on June 13, those five years have been revoked.

They said Coleman will be remanded to the Mississippi Department of Corrections to serve the full sentence.

The attorney’s office said Coleman’s new charges are still pending indictment, and they are working with law enforcement to pursue those to the fullest extent of the law.

Marcus Coleman’s bond was revoked on June 16; however, according to the DeSoto County Jail log, a bond was set after he appeared in court on June 18. His bond was set to $250,000.

On June 13, officers with the Southaven Police Department responded to reports of a stolen vehicle located at the Sonic on 1185 Main Street.

The suspect was found near the location, but when officers attempted to stop him, he allegedly rammed officers with the stolen car. Police say the suspect then tried to run over one of the officers, and shots were fired.

After a brief foot pursuit, Southaven Police say the suspect was taken into custody.
