Officers Arrest Two Suspects During Traffic Stop Related to Illegal Drug and Firearm Possession (Photo) - 04/17/18

On Monday, April 16, 2018, at 10:36 p.m., a North Precinct officer performed a traffic stop on a gray Nissan Altima near the intersection of Northeast 72nd Avenue and Northeast Killingsworth Street.

During the traffic stop, the officer learned the vehicle was associated with recent reports of mail theft. As the officer continued the traffic stop, she recognized the passenger of the vehicle, later identified as 41-year-old Mark T. Goldsby, as a suspect in a previous firearms investigation from March 8, 2018. During the March investigation, Goldsby ran from officers, but was ultimately arrested and transported to jail. Days after this arrest and after Goldsby had been released from jail, neighbors near where the incident had occurred, contacted police to report they had found a firearm on their property. As officers reviewed surveillance footage from March 8, 2018, they observed that the suspect had thrown an object onto the property prior to being arrested. Based on this new information, Goldsby was taken into custody on April 16, 2018 in connection with the March 8 investigation into the illegal possession of a firearm.

The driver of the vehicle, 37-year-old Marci A. Harris, was also taken into custody after officers located a firearm, suspected stolen mail, and a substance they believed to be methamphetamine inside the vehicle. These items were located and seized during an inventory search of the vehicle. When officers inspected the firearm involved, they learned it was reported stolen in 2006.

Harris was booked into the Multnomah County jail on charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Mail Theft, and Theft in the Second Degree by Receiving. Goldsby was lodged into the jail on two counts of Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Theft in the First Degree by Receiving, and a Parole Violation for a previous conviction of Murder.

Anyone with information about Harris or Goldsby should contact Officer Derek Carmon with the Portland Police Bureau Tactical Operation Division's Gun Task Force at Derek.Carmon@portlandoregon.gov
