An Austin man who was shot in the groin last Saturday is now facing two felony charges.

Marty Lynn Morrison, 35, was charged Wednesday with two felony counts of being a felon convicted of a violent crime in possession of a firearm.

Police officers were called to Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin as Morrison was being treated for a gunshot to the groin area at about 7:45 p.m. last Saturday.

Morrison was transferred via helicopter to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester, but he was home by Monday evening.

According to a court complaint, a woman told police she called Morrison to her residence on the 1200 block of Fourth Street Northwest that Saturday to help her with two men she couldn’t get to leave. The woman stated Morrison intervened, which caused a scuffle. Morrison and the witness both stated one of the two men put a gun down his pants and it discharged. The woman told police the men, who had been looking for her ex-boyfriend, fled in a black SUV.

The woman told police the suspects “were ‘cartel people’ from Mexico.”

Yet neighbors and nearby witnesses told police they hadn’t seen a black SUV or other men. One witness told police she saw a man standing next to a car before he hobbled to a nearby truck, got in and followed the car out of the area. Another man who was working at the house since 2 p.m. Saturday said he saw the woman return home at about 4 p.m., stay for 20 minutes then leave, according to the complaint. He told police he hadn’t seen any fighting or heard any gunshots while he was at the home.

Police unsuccessfully searched for evidence around the home.

Officers later went to Morrison’s home where they were invited into the residence and spotted an ammunition box near a chair. When officers asked about it, the complaint states Morrison became angry and asked them to leave. They returned with a search warrant and found a Walther P99 .40-caliber handgun — which came back as stolen in a March 2013 burglary — and a Smith & Wesson .22-caliber handgun, which had a spent .22-caliber round in the chamber, according to the court complaint. Police also found ammunition boxes, several rounds of ammunition, loaded magazines for the handguns, a handgun case and a holster, the complaint states.

Morrison was arrested after the search. He was convicted of two second-degree burglary charges in 1998, terroristic threats in 2006 and third-degree drug crime in 2006 — all felonies.

His next scheduled court appearance is May 8.
