Bryant Daigre Pleads Guilty to Methamphetamine Conspiracy

A 33-year-old Garyville man has been convicted of orchestrating a massive methamphetamine operation in the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Bryant Daigre, 33, of Garyville, Louisiana, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), and 846.

According to court documents, Daigre conspired with others to distribute methamphetamine in the Eastern District of Louisiana. On August 15, 2020, he possessed over 50 grams of methamphetamine in St. John the Baptist Parish.

Daigre faces a sentence of between 5 years and 40 years of imprisonment, a fine of up to $5,000,000, at least 4 years of supervised release, and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee. Chief U.S. District Judge Nannette Jolivette Brown set sentencing for June 23, 2022.

The investigation into Daigre’s operation was carried out by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan L. Shih.

Daigre’s guilty plea marks a significant blow to the methamphetamine trade in Louisiana. The state has been hit hard by the opioid crisis, with many residents struggling with addiction.

The guilty plea is a reminder that law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to dismantle these operations and bring those responsible to justice.

Bryant Daigre’s sentencing is set for June 23, 2022. The case will continue to be monitored by Grimy Times as more information becomes available.
