A St. Tammany Parish resident, Sherida Graham, 57, has been indicted on charges of possessing with intent to distribute more than fifty grams of methamphetamine. The indictment was announced by Acting United States Attorney Michael M. Simpson.
Court documents state that the alleged offense occurred on June 17, 2025, in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Graham is accused of knowingly and intentionally possessing the methamphetamine with the intent to distribute it.
If found guilty, Graham could face a minimum prison sentence of ten years and up to life imprisonment. She also faces a potential fine of up to $10 million, at least five years of supervised release after serving any prison time, and a mandatory special assessment fee of $100.
Acting U.S. Attorney Simpson stated: "The indictment is merely a charging document and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt."
The investigation involved Homeland Security Investigations and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney André Jones from the Narcotics Unit is prosecuting the case.
