Terence Wilson, Methamphetamine, Louisiana 2024
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - In a shocking verdict, a federal jury convicted Terence Wilson, 42, and Travis Enclade, 42, both of New Orleans, for using a stash location in the 3500 block of Encampment Street in New Orleans to conspire to distribute methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl.
The jury also convicted both men of being felons in possession of firearms. The convictions are the result of a months-long investigation by law enforcement, who identified a residence being used by Wilson and Enclade as a stash house in September 2022.
During a search of the stash house, law enforcement seized over 534 grams of heroin and fentanyl, over 120 grams of fentanyl, and 363 grams of mostly pure methamphetamine. They also found a Diamondback Model DB9, multicaliber pistol, a Palmetto State Armory Model PA-X9, multicaliber pistol, and drug paraphernalia, including vacuum seal bags, a plastic mixer bottle containing a brownish residue, digital scales with suspected drug residue, a mechanical press used to compress drugs into kilogram shaped packages for distribution, and bags of brown sugar, used as a cutting agent.
The jury convicted Wilson and Enclade of conspiracy to distribute and, possess with intent to distribute, 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, 40 grams or more of a fentanyl mixture, and 100 grams or more of heroin mixture. Wilson faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and up to life imprisonment, a fine of up to $10,000,000, at least 5 years of supervised release. Enclade faces the same sentence for Count 1. Both men also face up to 10 years imprisonment, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to 3 years of supervised release for being felons in possession of firearms.
