MARSHALL — A Marshall man was sentenced to 100 months in federal prison after using an illegal firearm in a 2024 armed robbery. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Eastern District of Texas, 20-year-old Jaquallon Tyjuan Hargett was arrested in 2024 after robbing a person of $100 at an ATM in Daingerfield using a pistol equipped with a machine gun conversion device. The conversion device, often referred to as a glock switch, can be attached to the rear of a firearm, allowing a semi-automatic weapon to be converted into a fully automatic machine gun.
“This case demonstrates why we cannot, and we will not, allow Glock-switches to proliferate on the streets of East Texas,” U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs said. “This sentence, 100 months in prison for robbing $100 from a citizen of our community, shows that crime simply does not pay on our watch. Law enforcement conducted an excellent investigation that led to this criminal being brought to justice. They have my sincere appreciation.”
The Daingerfield Police Department, the Marshall Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and the Texas Department of Public Safety investigated the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Dustin Farahnak.
