NEW ORLEANS, LA – Curtis Williamson Jr., a 42-year-old resident of Houma, Louisiana, is headed to federal prison for a decade after being sentenced for flooding the streets with methamphetamine. U.S. District Judge Nannette Jolivette Brown handed down the 120-month sentence on June 26, 2025, followed by a ten-year stretch of supervised release. Williamson Jr. previously pleaded guilty to one count of Possession with Intent to Distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, a violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(A).
The bust originated from a complaint received on March 22, 2023, alleging Williamson Jr. was actively involved in narcotics trafficking. Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies moved in quickly, securing a search warrant for his Houma residence. What they found wasn’t a small-time operation. Inside Williamson Jr.’s bedroom closet, investigators discovered multiple kilograms of methamphetamine, neatly packaged in large bags – enough to supply a significant network of users and dealers.
This wasn’t a case of personal use gone wrong. The sheer quantity of meth seized points to a sophisticated distribution network, suggesting Williamson Jr. was a key player in the local drug trade. The feds didn’t waste time building a case, and the guilty plea indicates Williamson Jr. understood the weight of the evidence against him. He likely hoped for a lesser sentence, but Judge Brown wasn’t buying it.
Acting United States Attorney Michael M. Simpson didn’t mince words, praising the collaborative efforts of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office. “This conviction sends a clear message,” Simpson stated, “that those who profit from poisoning our communities will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.” The investigation was meticulously handled by Assistant United States Attorney Stuart Theriot of the Narcotics Unit.
While Williamson Jr. will be off the streets for the next ten years, the damage he inflicted on the community remains. The flow of methamphetamine fuels addiction, crime, and despair. This sentence, while significant, is just one battle won in the ongoing war against drugs. The DEA and local law enforcement are already working on dismantling the remaining pieces of Williamson Jr.’s operation, identifying his suppliers and customers.
The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and report on the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in Louisiana and beyond. The sentence serves as a stark reminder that dealing in large quantities of narcotics carries severe consequences. For those involved in similar activities, consider this a warning: the feds are watching, and they are ready to act.
