A Hammond man has been sentenced to 151 months in prison for distributing heroin and cocaine, announced United States Attorney Adam L. Mildred.
Jeremiah Hicks, 38, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Gretchen S. Lund after pleading guilty to the charges.
According to documents in the case, Hicks sold heroin and cocaine to another person on two occasions in August 2023.
During an execution of a search warrant on his residence, law enforcement recovered a semi-automatic pistol and U.S. currency.
Hicks has multiple felony convictions, including a 2012 possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and a 2018 dealing in a narcotic drug.
‘The Defendant has forfeited over 12 years of his life because he chose to peddle this poison in our communities,’ said Mildred. ‘We appreciate the hard work of the professionals at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Hammond Police Department that went into the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of this repeat offender.’
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives with assistance from the Hammond Police Department. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Caitlin M. Padula.
