Hakeem Allen, Drug Trafficking, Louisiana 2022

Baton Rouge Man Charged with Numerous Counts of Drug and Gun Charges

A federal grand jury has returned a seven-count indictment charging Hakeem Allen, age 27, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with distribution and possession with the intent to distribute fentanyl, heroin, clonazepam, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

The indictment alleges that on five separate occasions from September 15, 2022 until October 4, 2022, Allen distributed and possessed with the intent to distribute fentanyl, heroin, clonazepam, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana. On at least two of these occasions, Allen possessed a firearm in furtherance of these crimes.

If convicted of these charges, Allen faces a statutory maximum sentence of life in prison.

The case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Eli J. Abad.

It is worth noting that an indictment is an accusation by a grand jury, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless adjudicated guilty at trial or through a guilty plea.

Hakeem Allen, a resident of Baton Rouge, has been charged with serious crimes that put the community at risk. We will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.

As a community, we must work together to prevent and combat drug trafficking and other crimes that affect our neighborhoods and families.
