Linez Green, age 32, of Thibodaux, Louisiana, was sentenced on March 17 to 66 months in prison and four years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and related charges. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Brandon Long.
Green had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, distribution of a quantity of a mixture containing methamphetamine, and illegal use of a communications facility.
According to the indictment, Green conspired with several individuals from an unknown date until at least May 4, 2024.
