Bogalusa Man Pleads Guilty To Meth Charges in Federal Court

U.S. Attorney Peter G. Strasser announced that Aaron Johnson (42) of Bogalusa plead guilty

Wednesday (July 17, 2019) to one  count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute more than fifty grams of methamphetamine and more than five hundred grams of a mixture containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine. Judge Susie Morgan set sentencing for October 22, 2019.

According to court documents, Johnson flew to California, where he obtained methamphetamine that he then mailed back to Louisiana. Johnson then returned to Louisiana to receive over a kilogram of high-purity methamphetamine, which law enforcement agents found in his house and vehicle.

The government filed a bill of information charging Johnson with a prior felony drug offense. As a result, Johnson faces a term of imprisonment of at least fifteen years and up to life, to be followed by at least ten years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $10,000,000.

U.S. Attorney Strasser praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Louisiana State Police, and the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas D. Moses is in charge of the prosecution.
