Houma Man Pleads Guilty to Meth Conspiracy Charge

A Houma man is facing up to life in prison after pleading guilty to a methamphetamine conspiracy charge in U.S. District Court.

According to court documents, 34-year-old Jermaine White was arrested in August 2015 after coordinating the mailing of over 1000 grams of methamphetamine to Houma through the U.S. Postal Service.

Two packages bound for White were intercepted by the United States Postal Inspection Service, which led to a delivery of the packages to two separate addresses utilized by White for drug distribution.

White faces a minimum term of ten years of imprisonment and a maximum term of life imprisonment, a maximum fine of $10,000,000, at least five years of supervised release, and a mandatory $100 special assessment.

U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance set sentencing for December 13, 2017.

Acting U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans praised the work of the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration in investigating this matter.

Assistant U.S. Attorney James S. C. Baehr is in charge of the prosecution.

The guilty plea is a significant blow to the local drug trade, and law enforcement officials are hailing it as a major victory in the fight against methamphetamine trafficking.
