Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced today that on January 13, 2021, Marlon Marcell Mebane, age 45, was found guilty of criminal threats following a jury trial.
On July 18, 2018, Jane Doe reported to the Marina Police Department that four days prior her boyfriend, Marlon Mebane, threatened to sock her in the face, kill her and bury her body where no one would find it. Jane Doe immediately left to stay with her mother where she felt safe. While at her mother’s home, she received more threats from Mebane via phone and text messages, including repeatedly threatening to kill her for being a “snitch”. She feared he would carry out these threats because five months prior he had severely beaten her.
Visiting Judge Gilbert Brown presided over the trial and sentenced defendant to three years’ probation, ordered him to serve 60 days in jail, and complete a 52-week domestic violence educational program.
