Houma, Louisiana – Detectives from various law enforcement agencies in Louisiana conducted search warrants on July 1, 2024, at two different homes in Houma as part of an investigation into drug trafficking. The result of the investigation was the arrest of suspect Javonne Amacker, a 29-year-old resident of Houma, Louisiana.
In the course of the investigation, law enforcement officers confiscated around 23 pounds of marijuana, a gun, and several items linked to the distribution of drugs. The marijuana taken is valued at $46,000 on the streets. Furthermore, a teenager was found at the scene during the search.

He was then placed under arrest at the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex.
Throughout the investigation, it was discovered by detectives that the minor had been allegedly subjected to sexual assault by Amacker. The Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit, and HSI HFO were also called in to help with this part of the inquiry.
On July 2, 2024, Amacker faced further charges of third-degree rape and indecent behavior with a juvenile. The investigation is still ongoing.
