Man Sentenced for Stalking

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - ALFRED HUMBLES ("HUMBLES"), age 55, a former resident of Gretna, Louisiana, was sentenced on April 8, 2026, after previously pleading guilty to Stalking, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2261A(2)(B), announced U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle.

According to court documents, from November 2018 until January 28, 2019, HUMBLES sent harassing and intimidating communications to a former girlfriend living in Texas. On November 29, 2018, the former girlfriend sent an email to HUMBLES indicating to him that the relationship was over, to stop having contact with her and that law enforcement had been notified. Approximately 25 texts and emails were quoted in the Indictment. Among them, on January 9, 2019, HUMBLES emailed the victim and stated "I can't think of one reason why you should be walking around breathing." On January 23, 2019, HUMBLES emailed the victim and stated "…you don't know what I'm capable of and you're not untouchable."

U.S. District Court Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon sentenced HUMBLES to time served which amounted to forty-seven (47) months in custody and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.

U.S. Attorney Courcelle praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in investigating this matter. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jon Maestri, Special Counsel to the U.S. Attorney, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Rachal Cassagne were charge of the prosecution.
