Marquis Deonta Jameson

On January 29, 2026, officers observed a male smoking suspected narcotics from a straw and tinfoil at the Lake Street light rail station in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Officers also observed the male, later identified as Mar’Quis Deon’ta Jameosn [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, take a container and pinch what appeared to be a white powder onto a piece of tinfoil another male was holding. After receiving the suspected narcotics, the other male smoked the substance from a straw and tin foil.

This led officers to believe the male gave away narcotics to the other male. Officers made contact with the Defendant. When officers tried to identify him, he provided the name of another, MARTI'NEZ DE'JUAN DESHO THOMPSON [DOB REDACTED], who officers later learned was the Defendant’s brother. When officers learned the Defendant’s real name, they learned he had an active felony warrant out of Hennepin County. Officers located the container the Defendant was observed with earlier. A review of surveillance footage showed the Defendant drop the container and attempt to hide it while officers approached.

The contents of the container field-tested positive for 1.02g of fentanyl. The Defendant is currently in custody.
