United States of America v. Nicholas D. Moore

Monroe, Louisiana criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with drug and firearms charges.

Two North Louisiana men were sentenced by United States District Judge Terry A. Doughty on drug and firearms charges.



Nicholas D. Moore, 31, of Ruston, was sentenced to 132 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Between August 2022 and January 2023, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office performed five controlled purchases of methamphetamine from Moore. The purchased narcotics were sent to the DEA Laboratory for analysis and the results came back that they were methamphetamine. Law enforcement agents subsequently obtained a search warrant for a residence in Ruston where Moore had lived for several days. During the execution of the search warrant, agents discovered multiple bags of methamphetamine, small bags of cocaine, and marijuana and over $8,000 in cash. The seized narcotics were tested at the DEA Laboratory and determined to contain methamphetamine.



The case was investigated by the DEA and Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert F. Moody.

Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to 132 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release
