   A Portland, Ore., man who falsely blamed an accidental gunshot   
   wound to the groin on a homeless man was sentenced Monday to   
   nearly six years in federal prison.   
      
   Marcus Anthony Davis Jr., 35, was handed the prison term after   
   pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. He   
   had been convicted of prior felonies and was on federal   
   supervision for a drug offense at the time of the Jan. 8   
   shooting.   
      
   "He paid a significant price with his physical injuries and the   
   sentence he’s now going to receive,' Assistant U.S. Attorney   
   Lewis Burkhart said, according to The Oregonian. "I don’t think   
   anything the court can say or the government can say can top the   
   injuries he gave to himself to stop him from possessing   
   firearms. Hopefully this is the last time we will see Mr.   
   Davis.''   
      
   Davis claimed he was robbed and shot by a white homeless man at   
   a bus stop. Investigators found no evidence of a shooting or   
   robbery at the location.   
      
   The .40-caliber handgun that injured him was found in his   
   girlfriend's car hidden in Davis' bloody clothes. In addition, a   
   gunshot hole was also found in a pair of his sweatpants.   
      
   The weapon was reported stolen in 2018.   
      
   Davis, who federal prosecutors allege was a member of a street   
   gang, pledged to take stock of his life during a video court   
   hearing, the newspaper reported.   
      
   “Mr. Davis has taken stock of his future,’’ Assistant Federal   
   Defender Francesca Freccero told the judge. “He resolved his new   
   charges very quickly."
