Monroe, Louisiana Man Demorion Baker Sentenced to 30 Years in Federal Prison for Drug Trafficking and Firearms Offenses
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Louisiana announced that Demorion "Duck" Baker, 30, of Monroe, Louisiana, was sentenced on October 21, 2026, by Chief U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty to 30 years in federal prison on multiple counts of possession with intent to distribute controlled substances — including cocaine, alprazolam, marijuana and methamphetamine — and possession of firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking, followed by five years of supervised release. Baker was ordered to forfeit a Texas Shooter Supply AR, a Diamondback Arms rifle, a Romarm pistol, a D-Technik pistol, a Glock pistol and ammunition. A jury convicted him on May 27, 2026, after a two-day trial, deliberating for only an hour.
According to trial evidence, the case began when another Monroe-area man was found with more than five pounds of methamphetamine and identified Baker as his supplier. Agents searched a vacant residence identified as Baker's stash house and found about one kilogram of cocaine, one kilogram of methamphetamine, more than 1,000 counterfeit ecstasy tablets, 85 pounds of marijuana, four assault-style firearms and 860 rounds of ammunition. Mail addressed to Baker, a laptop with a specific username, and an iPhone containing communications with his brother linked him to the house, and his DNA was found on three of the four firearms. Agents later arrested him at another residence he frequented, where he had about 500 grams of cocaine and a handgun.
U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Keller made the announcement. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Monroe Police Department, the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office, the West Monroe Police Department, the Metro Narcotics Unit and the Louisiana State Police investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Samuel S. Crichton and Cheyenne Y. Wilson prosecuted it, under case number 24-cr-00269.
