I was very pleased with the sentence. I thought it was appropriate considering the amount of drugs, their value, and the horrible effects this amount of drugs would have caused to the people of St. Martin Parish. It was enough to supply 2,740 people. I want to send a clear message to all those involved in narcotics trafficking and you can quote me on this:
If you get caught hauling illegal narcotics in St. Martin Parish, come to court with your bags packed and your toothbrush because YOU ARE GOING TO PRISON!"
