Sabine Parish Man Found Guilty by Federal Jury of Possession of Methamphetamine

SHREVEPORT, La. - United States Attorney Brandon B. Brown announced that a federal jury returned a guilty verdict late yesterday evening against Huey P. Scott, Jr., 63, of Many, Louisiana, for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The jury acquitted Scott of one count of possession of firearms during a drug trafficking offense and one count of receipt or possession of an unregistered firearm.

Evidence introduced at trial revealed that agents with the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office's Tactical Narcotics Team conducted controlled buys of methamphetamine from Scott at his residence in Many, Louisiana, on three separate occasions in 2022. Testimony established that Scott was a frequent user and distributor of methamphetamine, and it was proven that he sold the drugs. After law enforcement conducted multiple controlled buys, agents executed a search warrant and arrested Scott at his residence. During the search of Scott's property, agents found and seized a duffel bag containing a clear plastic bag which had approximately 139.31 grams of methamphetamine. In another bag, agents found what appeared to be smaller baggies containing smaller quantities of methamphetamine. The seized drugs were tested by the North Louisiana Criminalistics Laboratory and found to be methamphetamine.

Scott faces a sentence of 10 years to life in prison, a $10,000,000 fine, or both, on the drug charge. His sentencing has been scheduled for January 30, 2025 at 2:00 p.m.

The case was investigated by Federal Bureau of Investigation and Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Mike Shannon and Earl M. Campbell.
