Of Hitler and Humboldt…

A Louisiana man nicknamed “Hitler” and his wife have been indicted by a federal grand jury in a case involving possibly hundreds of pounds of marijuana from Humboldt County and murders in two states. Marcus Etienne and his wife Elizabeth Gobert and others are being held on charges of redistributing hydroponic marijuana from here through the Bay Area to Louisiana.

Press release from the Department of Justice:

On August 3, 2017, a federal grand jury in San Francisco returned a superseding indictment charging Marcus Etienne, a.k.a. Hitler, Elizabeth Gobert, Craig Marshall, and Mario Robinson, with racketeering, murder, and conspiracy, announced United States Attorney Brian J. Stretch and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge John F. Bennett. The indictment was unsealed today.

The charges stemmed from the defendants’ running of a multi-state marijuana trafficking organization and the murder of Trince Thibodeaux on March 22, 2016, at 90th Avenue and International Boulevard in Oakland, California.

The superseding indictment alleges that Etienne, of Opelousas, Louisiana, ran an enterprise of more than five members who conducted a continuing and extensive narcotics conspiracy and criminal organization that distributed marijuana from California to Louisiana and Texas. In connection with that enterprise and conspiracy, Etienne, Marshall, of Houston, Texas, and Robinson, of Oakland, California, acted in concert to murder Thibodeaux on March 22, 2016, in Oakland. A grand jury had previously charged Etienne and Gobert, Etienne’s wife, also of Opelousas, with conspiracy to distribute marijuana on February 16, 2017. Etienne was detained by the Court and Gobert was released on bail. The Superseding Indictment unsealed today charges Etienne and Gobert with conspiring to murder defendant Robinson during May of 2017, while Gobert was on release pending further proceedings on the first indictment.

The defendants are charged in the superseding indictment as follows:

Etienne:
21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B) – Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with
Intent to Distribute Marijuana;
21 U.S.C. § 848(e) – Murder in Connection with Continuing Criminal Enterprise;
18 U.S.C. § 924(j) – Use of Firearm to Commit Murder;
18 U.S.C. § 1962(d) – Racketeering Conspiracy;
18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(1) – VICAR Murder; and
18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(5) – VICAR Conspiracy to Murder

Gobert:
21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1) and (b)(l)(B) – Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with
Intent to Distribute Marijuana;
18 U.S.C. § 1962(d) – Racketeering Conspiracy; and
18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(5) – VICAR Conspiracy to Murder

Marshall:
21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1) and (b)(l)(B) – Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with
Intent to Distribute Marijuana;
21 U.S.C. § 848(e) – Murder in Connection with Continuing Criminal Enterprise;
18 U.S.C. § 924(j) – Use of Firearm to Commit Murder;
18 U.S.C. § 1962(d) – Racketeering Conspiracy; and
18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(1) – VICAR Murder

Robinson:
21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841 (a)(1) and (b)(1)(B) – Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with
Intent to Distribute Marijuana;
21 U.5.C. § 848(e) – Murder in Connection with Continuing Criminal Enterprise;
18 U.S.C. § 924(j) – Use of Firearm to Commit Murder;
18 U.S.C. § 1962(d) – Racketeering Conspiracy; and
18 U.S.C. § 1959(a)(1) – VICAR Murder

Etienne remains in custody in Northern California based on the February 16, 2017, indictment. Robinson was arrested in Louisiana on August 4, 2017, and appeared on August 7, in federal court in the Western District of Louisiana. Marshall was arrested on August 7, 2017, in Houston, Texas, and appeared in federal court in the Southern District of Texas today. Gobert was re-arrested on Sunday August 6, and made her initial appearance on August 7, in federal court in the Western District of Louisianan. Robinson, Marshall, and Gobert are expected to be required to appear in the Northern District of California upon transfer from their current locations. The case is assigned to the Honorable William Alsup, United States District Judge, for the Northern District of California.

An indictment merely alleges that crimes have been committed, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If convicted, any sentence following conviction would be imposed by the court after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney William Frentzen, paralegal specialist Jessica Meegan, legal assistant Bridget Kilkenny, all of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California. The case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s San Francisco, New Orleans, and Houston Divisions, and the Oakland Police Department, with assistance from the St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, Sheriff’s Office, and the Opelousas, Louisiana Police Department.

Did you watch “The Wire”? Hmmmm… Did the dealers actually kill EVERYONE?

Improve Humboldt County. If you have to sell drugs, please have the class to sell to a nicer bunch of guys…

Making some money is great. Getting shot over the whole thing – not so much…

Im privileged n white. That automatically makes me racist……”they” can hate on me and its the new “cool”, if i speak of any color,im a racist. So ive learned to accept it kym. Its hard not to be racist when everybody else is calling u a racist because of your skin color. Ironic huh? Personally i like to think im not a racist but i am prejudice. Some prove me wrong,many dont. I will try my best to keep it PC here. Thank you for your reporting kym, like others say that i do….i dont watch fox news or any other sources,there all baised. So keep it coming! PS kym. Ill be changeing my post name to WhiteMail. Watch how many haters there will be with just the word “white”. I will keep it all PC on my end. Thanx

Yes that’s the message being programmed into our brains, but your not privileged and white, your privileged because your white, and yes without exception racist because you are white. i belive it makes the devide between races bigger and only permotes racism, but hey what do I know I’m just a white devil.

Oh, geez, I’m so tired of white people feeling sorry for themselves because they’re white and “discriminated” against. (I’m white.) It’s really hard to get used to not being the standard by which the rest of humanity is judged inferior, tough, tough, tough. Actually, it is tough — but so what? Let’s pull up our britches and get on with life.

No they aren’t, unless you’re lumping all races together as “non-white” vs “white”, which says a lot about the mentality of folks who bemoan this.

You were met by closed mindedness. These prohibitionists are like flies attracted to Kym’s fly paper website. They have to tread on you and me because they are the “fake news” crowd of little intelligence and a lot of snowflake fear.

Weed is legal under state law and we all know the writing is on the wall for re/descheduling it federally now; I’ll look forward to you fully supporting it once it does.

No it’s not.

The entire country of working people not on government handouts are against it.

Granted it’s a state’s right issue, but you libs won’t talk about the last one of those that had nothing to do with declining slavery.

How free are the slaves working a job with 25% withheld in taxes?

Is that a full quarter of the year working for free on the plantation?

You dope growers and addicts just seek an excuse for your addiction to become mainstream, so you don’t have to hide it.

Normal, functioning people don’t go through life blasted out of their minds.

Get help, you’re a drug addict-

Accept it and don’t redirect….

Own your addiction to get help.

I’m going to start some type of remembrance festival on the very date the last dope grower leaves The Triangle.

We’ll name it a victory day, like VE or VJ day…

The Triangle will have a day of to remember the day The Marijuana Caliphate surrendered.

That day is closer today than it was yesterday…

We are so tired of your chicken coop muk.

Go back to your slums……

“Here’s a little piece of hash. Go to the stove do some hot knives. Get stoned and get the fuck to work”

“I can’t get stoned Ricky!”

“What do you mean? It’s shitty work, everybody does that. Carpenters, electricians, dishwashers, floor cleaners, lawyers, doctors, fucking politicians, CBC employees, principals, people who paint the fucking lines on the fucking roads. Get stoned and it’ll be fun. Now get to work!”
