Methamphetamine Ring Busted in Houma
A massive methamphetamine conspiracy has been uncovered in Houma, Louisiana, with the indictment of three defendants.
SHAWN JACCUZZO, 43, of Houma, and ANGELA WEAVER, 43, a/k/a ‘Angela Adams,’ a/k/a ‘Angela Constant,’ and CHANCE WEAVER, 30, both of Cypress, California, have been charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute and to possess with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine.
The indictment was unsealed on October 16, 2014, after the arrest of ANGELA WEAVER and CHANCE WEAVER in Orange County, California, by United States Postal Inspectors.
If found guilty as charged, the defendants could each face a mandatory minimum of 10 years of imprisonment, a $10,000,000 fine, and at least five years of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite emphasized that the indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendants must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Polite praised the work of the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in bringing the defendants to justice. Assistant United States Attorney Matthew Payne is in charge of the prosecution.
The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to disrupting and dismantling organized crime groups involved in the distribution of methamphetamine.
Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the USPIS or the DEA.
The indictment is a result of a long-term investigation by the USPIS and the DEA.
