| Inmate name: | Walter Louis Jackson, Jr. |
| Charge description: | Walter Louis Jackson, Jr. was sentenced to a combined 250 years in prison after a jury convicted him of four counts of Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance last week. The 35-year old Louisiana man was charged after a Fort Bend County Narcotics Task Force investigation uncovered illegal prescriptions and cocaine in a Cinco Ranch area apartment. According to Assistant District Attorney Matthew Banister, the Fort Bend County Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant at an apartment and garage in the Cinco Ranch area after an eight-month investigation during 2012. Jackson had been utilizing his girlfriends residence at this location as a stash house for his supply of illegal narcotics that included thousands of illegally obtained prescription pills, cocaine and other illicit drugs. The investigation revealed that Jackson had been distributing the cocaine and pills throughout the Katy area in the parking lots of restaurants, bars and hotels in some cases posing as a legitimate patron just long enough to make contact with his own customers. Jackson was well known on the black market as a major supplier of narcotics into the Katy area and had been infecting our community with his poison for years, stated Banister. The Task Force performed community service at its best: eliminating the source for additional drug addicts and the related crimes which flow from drug abuse such as theft, burglary and domestic violence. I believe the jurors earnestly considered the large amount of narcotics discovered, the consistent high-volume distribution of those drugs, and Jacksons history of illegal narcotics in Louisiana, when handing out their two 75-year sentences and two more 50-year sentences on the four charges, added prosecutor Taniya Henderson. Jackson was tried in the 268th District Court before Presiding Judge Brady G. Elliott. Each charge of Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance in this case is a first-degree felony punishable by at least 5-99 years or life in prison and a maximum fine of up to $10,000. The four sentences will be served concurrently. |
