Haynesville Man Sentenced to 15+ Years for Methamphetamine Trafficking

A Haynesville man was sentenced to 181 months (15 years, 1 month) in prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation.

Dean Fitzgerald Williams, 40, of Haynesville, Louisiana, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. The charges stemmed from a search warrant executed at his residence on June 24, 2022.

Law enforcement agents found methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and a scale in a storage room, as well as additional crack cocaine and marijuana in the master bedroom. They also discovered two firearms, a Sig Sauer pistol and a Hi-Point pistol, as well as $13,000 in cash, which Williams admitted was drug proceeds.

The narcotics were sent to the DEA Southeast Laboratory in Miami, Florida, who analyzed them and determined the drugs to be 419.8 grams of methamphetamine actual (pure) and 113.0 grams of cocaine base.

Williams admitted that the narcotics found in his residence belonged to him, including the methamphetamine found in the storage room and the firearms used in furtherance of the drug trafficking offense.

The case was investigated by the DEA, ATF, Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office, Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Ruston Police Department, and was prosecuted by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerry Edwards and Assistant U.S. Attorney Tennille M. Gilreath.
