NEW ORLEANS, LA — Acting United States Attorney Michael M. Simpson has announced the sentencing of 41-year-old Henry Jermaine Miller of Bogalusa, Louisiana, for federal drug trafficking offenses. On July 17, 2025, U.S. District Judge Barry W. Ashe sentenced Miller to 75 months (over six years) in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Miller was also ordered to pay a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.

Miller had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to distribute heroin and methamphetamine, in violation of Title 21, U.S. Code Sections 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(C).

According to court documents, Miller was part of a larger drug distribution conspiracy operating in the Bogalusa area from 2021 through 2023. The group trafficked heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl—highly addictive and dangerous substances contributing to the nationwide opioid crisis.

Acting U.S. Attorney Simpson commended the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bogalusa Police Department for their work in the investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stuart Theriot of the Narcotics Unit.
