Former Sheriff Crisler Released from Prison | Hattiesburg News

Marshand Crisler, the former interim Hinds County sheriff, has been released from federal prison after serving his sentence for bribery and illegally giving ammunition to a convicted felon. Convicted in November 2024, he received 30 months for each charge — served concurrently — plus a $15,000 fine. The evidence revealed he accepted $9,500 in cash over three months in 2021 from a felon in exchange for favors like sharing investigation info, moving a relative in jail, and hiring the felon at the sheriff’s office — actions allegedly tied to his own campaign. He also violated federal law by supplying ammo to a known felon. Despite maintaining his innocence throughout, Crisler is now under federal supervision, either at home or in a halfway house.
