The cases sentenced today are as follows: Allen Jackson, 32, of Pineville, Louisiana, was sentenced by United States District Judge David C. Joseph to 72 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, on drug charges. Jackson pleaded guilty on August 4, 2021 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
