A man convicted of multiple felonies receives a 31-year sentence after he plead guilty to weapon, drug, and evading arrest.
Knox County District Attorney General Charme Allen’s office gets a conviction for 38 year-old Demarquise Jamar Welch who was charged with possession with intent to sell heroin and cocaine, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, unlawful possession of a weapon by a conviction felon, theft and evading arrest.
In 2018, Knoxville Police spotted Welch driving a reportedly stolen car. Welch fled from officers who eventually found the car and reportedly found weapons and drugs. Welch also had five prior convictions out of Knox and Washington counties for various charges.
