COLUMBIA, S.C.(WOLO)– A Lexington County man has been sentenced to more than nine years in federal prison after pleading guilty, says the Justice Dept. Police lights De’Marionne Zaquann Miller, 22, of Lexington, was sentenced after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and possessing the firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime. Evidence obtained in the investigation revealed that on June 14, 2025, deputies with the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department responded to an apartment after receiving reports of a domestic violence incident. While deputies were on their way to the location, they learned that Miller had an outstanding warrant for a probation violation, according to officials. As law enforcement arrived to the scene, Miller ran out of the apartment with an AK-style rifle and a backpack. When deputies caught up with Miller, he did not have the rifle, but after arresting Miller, the deputies retraced his steps and located the AK-style firearm, says the Justice Dept. In the seized backpack, deputies located cash, numerous individual bags of marijuana, and two cellphones. A subsequent search of the apartment revealed a large vacuum sealed bag of marijuana, a digital drug scale, and ammunition, say officials. Miller was sentenced to 111 months imprisonment, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision.
