Jonathan Webre, Methamphetamine Distribution, Louisiana 2021

A St. John the Baptist Parish man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for violating federal drug and firearms laws. Jonathan Webre, age 35, a resident of Reserve, Louisiana, was sentenced on June 16, 2021, by Federal District Court Judge Lance Africk.

According to court documents, Webre was charged with distribution of five grams or more of methamphetamine, possession with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Webre pled guilty to all three charges on October 23, 2019.

The charges stemmed from an investigation by both the St. John the Baptist Sheriff’s Office and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration into the illegal activities of Webre over the last two years.

At his sentencing, Webre was ordered to serve 168 months (14 years) for the two drug charges, Counts 1 and 2, and to serve 120 months (10 years) for Count 3, the federal firearms violation. All sentences were ordered to be served concurrently.

U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.), the St. John The Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the St. John the Baptist District Attorney’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Maurice Landrieu prosecuted the case.

Webre’s sentencing was postponed numerous times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This case is a prime example of the ongoing efforts to combat crime in Louisiana. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
