NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – A Metairie doctor was arrested Friday on federal charges of drug distribution and threatening to murder law enforcement agents.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District, Shannon Ceasar, 43, illegally dispensed Oxycodone and also conspired with others to distribute the drug illegally.
He’s also accused of threatening to assault and/or murder federal agents.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Ceasar made the following threats against law enforcement and the medical board:
“God help them, I swear to god…I have a f*$&ing arsenal in there enough to supply a small militia, you know I collect guns, I swear to god if they come in there with a warrant I’m going to kill every single one of those sons of bitches.”
“I am very serious…they won’t even be able to have an open casket funeral. There will be nothing left above the adam’s apple.”
“And I’m not sure if the time comes if I’m going to do it right there in the clinic or if I’m going to somehow break into the DEA office in that building by the lake and just f*$&ing blow the place up but somehow a vast majority of the DEA agents in this area will lose their lives if they f*$& with me.”
“Same thing goes for the medical board, that’ll be even sweeter…they are downtown.”
“…New Orleans will be all over the national news again because of me.”
“What I’ll do is make Baton Rouge look like a f*$&ing kindergarten.”
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison on the drug charges and up to 10 years in prison for threats to law enforcement.
