Tracy Davis, a 51-year-old Kentwood resident, Pleads Guilty to Federal Drug Charges

A notorious Kentwood resident, Tracy Davis, has admitted to federal drug charges in a New Orleans court. The 51-year-old defendant faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $1,000,000, and up to three years of supervised release for the controlled dangerous substance charge. In addition, he faces an additional 5 years up to life imprisonment, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to 5 years of supervised release for the possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking charge. He also faces up to 15 years imprisonment, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to 3 years of supervised release for the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon charge.

Davis was found to have been prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a previous felony conviction. The investigation into Davis’ activities began after a complaint was filed with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Hammond Police Department alleging that Davis was distributing narcotics in the Kentwood area. A search warrant was subsequently obtained for two residences and a vehicle associated with Davis, resulting in the seizure of cocaine and multiple firearms.

As part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, Davis’ case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stuart Theriot of the Narcotics Unit. The program aims to reduce violent crime and gun violence by fostering trust and legitimacy in communities, supporting community-based organizations, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring results.

This case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) operation, which identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach.

U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Hammond Police Department in the investigation and prosecution of Davis’ case.
