Marvin Brown, Methamphetamine Sales, Louisiana 2015

A Tallulah man has been dealt a harsh sentence for his involvement in the illicit world of methamphetamine sales.

Marvin Brown, 45, of Tallulah, La., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert G. James on one count of distribution of methamphetamine on May 4, 2015. He was also sentenced to five years of supervised release.

According to evidence presented at the May 1, 2015 guilty plea hearing, law enforcement agents recorded Brown selling 109.1 grams of methamphetamine on July 9, 2014 for $6,000 in cash in Tallulah.

As agents approached to arrest him, Brown fled. He was later captured after abandoning his vehicle and fleeing on foot.

The DEA conducted the investigation, while Assistant U.S. Attorney F. Michael O’Mara prosecuted the case.

Brown’s decision to flee from law enforcement after the sale led to a more severe punishment, ultimately resulting in a 10-year prison sentence.

With a record of selling a significant amount of methamphetamine, Brown’s actions have put a dent in the community and have led to a loss of trust in those involved in the sale of illicit substances.

The outcome of this case serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in such activities and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to combat the sale and distribution of illicit substances.
