A New Iberia man was convicted on multiple drug and weapons charges in 16th Judicial District Court last week.

Tabian Michael Davis, 36, faces up to 30 years at hard labor that resulted from an April 2017 search warrant served on his Louise Street home. 

He was arrested on four felony warrants and 14 charges related to the operation of a clandestine laboratory and distribution of narcotics.

During the search, officers found 15 grams of powder cocaine, two grams of crack cocaine, 96 pills containing methamphetamine, 17 oxycodone pills, seven tramadol pills, 145 grams of marijuana, 88 grams of synthetic cannabinoids, plus tools used in the manufacture of crack cocaine including a digital scale.

The officers also recovered three firearms and a bulletproof vest from the residence.

After a multi-day trial, Davis was convicted Friday of possession with intent to distribute a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance (Methamphetamine); attempted possession with intent to distribute a Schedule I controlled dangerous substance (Synthetic Cannabinoids); two counts of possession of a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance (Cocaine); possession of a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance (Oxycodone); possession of a Schedule IV controlled dangerous substance (Tramadol); possession of a Schedule I controlled dangerous substance (Marijuana); three counts of illegal possession of a weapon in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance; and unlawful use or possession of body armor.

Sixteenth Judicial Court Assistant District Attorneys Aaron Brown, Janet Perrodin, and Mason Hebert prosecuted the case.

A sentencing hearing is set before 16th Judicial District Court Judge Vincent Borne on May 9.
