Marquis Lamar Kitchen. CREDIT: LCSO A man with previous felony convictions has pleaded guilty to possessing a loaded firearm and ammunition during a Fort Myers traffic stop. According to court documents, on March 21, Fort Myers police officers observed a vehicle moving side to side on the roadway and initiated a traffic stop. The car slowly rolled for a few blocks before stopping. Officers then yelled for the driver to roll down all of the car’s windows. One of the officers saw a man jump from the driver’s seat into the passenger seat and then a woman jumped from the passenger seat into the driver’s seat. When officers asked the occupants to exit the car, they found 38-year-old Marquis Lamar Kitchen in the passenger seat. As the two were exiting the car, an officer noticed a pistol on the driver’s side floorboard from underneath the driver’s seat. DNA analyses linked Kitchen to the trigger, rough areas and loading port of the pistol. At the time, Kitchen had a prior felony conviction, prohibiting him from possessing firearms or ammunition. Kitchen faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
