SHREVEPORT, La. – A Sabine Parish man has been sentenced to federal prison for selling drugs in Sabine Parish, acting U.S. Attorney Alex Van Hook said today in a news release. Huey P. Scott Jr., 63, of Many was sentenced to 12 years, 7 months. A federal jury convicted him of trafficking methamphetamine following a three-day trial in September. Scott was arrested after Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office Tactical Narcotics Team agents conducted controlled buys of methamphetamine at his Many home on three occasions in 2022. Agents learned that Scott was a frequent user and distributor of methamphetamine, and it was proven that he sold the drugs. Agents then searched his house and found 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 case was investigated by Federal Bureau of Investigation and Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office’s Tactical Narcotics Team and prosecuted by assistant U.S. attorneys Mike Shannon and Earl M. Campbell.
