Marty Lynn Morrison, 39, of Wilmont was charged on Friday in Mower County District Court with two counts of felony violent felon in possession of a firearm, felony violent felon in possession of firearm ammunition, felony fifth-degree drug possession, second-degree DWI-refusal to submit to a chemical test as required by a search warrant, gross misdemeanor third-degree DWI-under the influence of a controlled substance and misdemeanor driving after the revocation of his license.

According to the court complaint, a Mower County deputy witnessed a 2006 Ford Taurus driving erratically at 2:10 a.m. on Friday on Interstate 90. When the deputy initiated a traffic stop, the driver, Morrison, allegedly threw a clear plastic bag out the window before coming to a stop. The deputy stopped and retrieved the bag, which allegedly contained 4.21 grams of methamphetamine.

The deputy then told Morrison why he stopped him, according to the complaint.

Morrison claimed the “alignment and bushings” were loose on his car. Morrison’s eyes were allegedly bloodshot and his pupils were slow to react to the light.

The deputy told Morrison he saw him throw something out of the car and Morrison said, “No, you did not,” according to the complaint. The deputy got back in his car to run his information and allegedly saw Morrison reaching into his center console. He told him to step out of the vehicle and asked if there were any weapons in the car, which Morrison denied.

The deputy then administered a field sobriety test, which Morrison failed, according to the report. He also refused to perform any balance tests.

Morrison was placed under arrest and searched. The deputy allegedly found a tear gas compound and $417 on his person. The deputy then searched the car and allegedly found .40 caliber ammunition, a round of rifle ammunition, several knives, a black expandable baton, a loaded Glock Model 23 in a holster, two loaded pistol magazines, and a Sig Sauer AR-15 with 58 rounds of ammunition. The serial numbers on the Glock and AR-15 allegedly came back stolen.

While at the Mower County Jail, Morrison allegedly refused to submit a blood or urine sample despite the deputy having a search warrant. Morrison claimed he had “no idea” where the firearms came from.

A review of Morrison’s criminal history shows prior convictions for aiding and abetting in the reception of stolen property, burglary, possession of burglary tools, issuing dishonored checks, theft, disorderly conduct, terroristic threats, drug possession and violent criminal in possession of a firearm.
