Brock Melancon, Methamphetamine Trafficking, Louisiana 2022

Brock Melancon, a 35-year-old from Terrebonne Parish, has been dealt a harsh sentence in federal court for his involvement in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and other firearms violations.

On October 27, 2022, U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that Melancon would serve 262 months in federal prison for his role in the conspiracy.

Melancon had earlier this year pleaded guilty to Counts 1, 2, and 3 of the superseding indictment pending against him. Count 1 charged Melancon with participating in a conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine. Count 3 charged him with possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and heroin. Count 2 charged him with being a felon in possession of a firearm.

At his sentencing hearing, United States District Judge Barry Ashe found that Melancon was a ‘career offender’ and imposed a sentence of 262 months as to Counts 1 and 2 and 120 months as to Count 3, all to run concurrently with each other.

Melancon was also placed on supervised release for a term of five years after his release from prison.

According to officials, this case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence in communities nationwide.

The case was investigated by the Houma Police Department, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.). Assistant United States Attorney Maurice Landrieu was in charge of the prosecution.
