Kentwood Man Sentenced in Federal Court on Drug and Firearms Offenses

U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced Wednesday (March 6, 2024) that Tracy Davis, age 51 and of Kentwood, was sentenced on February 27, 2024 by U.S. District Judge Jay C Zainey to 51 months incarceration, after previously pleading guilty to one (1) count of Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance, one (1) count of Possession of Firearms in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Offense, and and one (1) count of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Judge Zainey also ordered a three-year term of supervised release following imprisonment.

According to court documents, Davis was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a previous felony conviction. The Drug Enforcement Administration and Hammond Police Department began investigating Davis due to a complaint that Davis was distributing narcotics in the Kentwood area. A search warrant was obtained for two residences and a vehicle associated with Davis that resulted in the seizure of cocaine and multiple firearms from within the residences and vehicle.

U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Hammond Police Department.  This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stuart Theriot of the Narcotics Unit.
