A Thibodaux resident, Linez Green, age 31, has pleaded guilty to multiple federal drug charges in New Orleans. Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson announced that Green entered his plea on September 2, 2025, before Judge Brandon S. Long. Sentencing is set for December 16, 2025.
Green admitted guilt to five counts from a superseding bill of information. The first count involves conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances. For this charge, he faces a minimum sentence of five years and up to forty years in prison, along with a possible $5 million fine and at least four years of supervised release.
Counts two, four, and five concern the distribution of methamphetamine mixtures. Each carries a potential penalty of up to twenty years in prison, fines reaching $1 million per count, and at least three years of supervised release.
The third count is for illegal use of a communications facility in connection with drug trafficking activities. This charge could result in up to four years imprisonment, a $1 million fine, and at least three years supervised release.
For each count, Green will also be required to pay a mandatory special assessment fee of $100.
Court documents indicate that Green was involved in a conspiracy beginning at an unknown time and continuing until at least May 4, 2024. He worked with others to distribute methamphetamine throughout Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes within the Eastern District of Louisiana. The operation involved transporting narcotics from Houston, Texas to Thibodaux using wire and electronic communications. Green reportedly used his cell phone frequently as part of the conspiracy and sold methamphetamine to numerous customers in Thibodaux.
This case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) initiative aimed at identifying and dismantling major criminal organizations across the United States through coordinated efforts by prosecutors and law enforcement agencies.

Acting U.S. Attorney Simpson commended the work done by the Drug Enforcement Administration as well as local law enforcement agencies including the Louisiana State Police, Thibodaux Police Department, Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Stuart Theriot from the Narcotics Unit is handling the prosecution.
