A New Orleans man has been sentenced to 66 months in prison for his role in a drug conspiracy.
Mark Williams, 22, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute tapentadol and marijuana, as well as possession with intent to distribute those substances and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.
The charges stem from a search at Williams’ mother’s residence on May 17, 2023, where Williams and his brother, Jonathan Gonzalez, were found with loaded firearms and possessed tapentadol pills and marijuana with the intent to distribute.
This case is part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, which aims to reduce violent crime and gun violence by bringing together law enforcement and communities to make neighborhoods safer.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David Berman of the Violent Crime Unit.
Williams was sentenced to 66 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a $300 mandatory special assessment fee.
This sentencing serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in drug trafficking and the importance of community-based initiatives in preventing violence.
