A Houma man has been sentenced to a decade behind bars for his role in distributing methamphetamine, a case that sheds light on the persistent drug trafficking issues within communities. Curtis Williamson Jr., 42, was handed down a 120-month imprisonment sentence and a subsequent ten-year supervised release by U.S. District Judge Nannette Jolivette Brown last Thursday, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The conviction stems from a search warrant executed by the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office, at Williamson Jr.'s residence in 2023, where officials uncovered multiple kilograms of methamphetamine stashed away in large bags in his bedroom closet. The investigation began with a complaint of narcotics trafficking on March 22, 2023, which eventually led to Williamson Jr.'s guilty plea, and now, his sentence.
In a statement obtained by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson commended the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office for their combined efforts in bringing the offender to justice. He also recognized Assistant United States Attorney Stuart Theriot of the Narcotics Unit, who handled the case.
