A Thibodaux resident has pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges related to drug distribution in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson announced that Linez Green, 31, entered his plea on September 2, 2025, before Judge Brandon S. Long. Sentencing is set for December 16, 2025.
Green admitted guilt to five counts from a superseding bill of information. On Count 1, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances under Title 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), and 846. This charge carries a minimum sentence of five years and up to forty years in prison, a possible $5 million fine, and at least four years of supervised release.
He also pleaded guilty to Counts 2, 4, and 5 for distributing methamphetamine mixtures in violation of Title 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(C). Each count could result in up to twenty years imprisonment, fines up to $1 million per count, and at least three years supervised release.
For Count 3—illegal use of a communications facility under Title 21 U.S.C. §843(b) and Title 18 U.S.C. §2—Green faces up to four years imprisonment, another potential $1 million fine, and at least three years supervised release.
Each count includes a mandatory special assessment fee of $100.
According to court documents, Green conspired with others from an unknown start date until at least May 4, 2024. The group distributed methamphetamine across Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes by obtaining drugs from Houston and transporting them into Thibodaux using wire and electronic communications. Green used his cell phone repeatedly as part of this operation.
The case was investigated as part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) operation that focuses on dismantling major criminal organizations through coordinated efforts among various agencies. More information about OCDETF is available at http://www.justice.gov/OCDETF.
Acting United States Attorney Simpson acknowledged the contributions of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Louisiana State Police, Thibodaux Police Department, Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office in the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Stuart Theriot is prosecuting the case for the Narcotics Unit.
