Mansfield man arrested for distributing meth in Shreveport

A Mansfield man was arrested in Caddo Parish this week for possessing and distributing large amounts of methamphetamine locally, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

Jamie Hill, 41, was arrested by the DEA Task Force after agents investigated a tip that he had been selling multiple ounces of meth in the local area and from his hotel room in the 9400 block of Healthplex Drive.

Hill was arrested on October 25 during a traffic stop after leaving his hotel. He consented to a search of his vehicle where agents found approximately 144 grams of suspected methamphetamine hidden inside his car. During a subsequent search of his hotel room, approximately 218 grams of suspected methamphetamine and a 9 mm handgun were discovered hidden in the room. The total value of drugs seized was $36,200.

Hill was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.  He was transported to the Caddo Correctional Center and booked on the federal charges. 

The DEA Task Force, which investigated this case, includes the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office, Desoto Parish Sheriff’s Office, Shreveport Police Department, Louisiana State Police, and DEA.
