WOODVILLE – Last Tuesday, a Colmesneil man was handed a 30-year prison sentence for dealing meth.
Demonte Rashaan Siggers, 27, was sentenced for selling, according to District Attorney Lucas Babin, “a lot of meth in Tyler County.”
Siggers was charged with four counts of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), and his arrest and subsequent conviction was part of a joint investigation between the Tyler County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the DA’s office.
The investigation began in May of 2024, and resulted in the confiscation of nearly two pounds of meth and Siggers’s arrest.
Siggers was arrested last October, when those agencies, along with the U.S. Marshal Service, served four felony warrants at his residence, to conclude the six-month investigation.
Babin said of the outcome of Tuesday’s sentencing that “justice was served,” and he thanked the efforts of all the law enforcement officers involved, as well as the efforts of DA’s office investigator Donald Calhoon, assistant prosecutor Brooke Montalbano and felony coordinator Paula Nash.
“Without their efforts, this would not have been possible,” he said.
