Democrat Virginia State Senator indicted by a federal grand jury, and arrested, on racketeering conspiracy (RICO), bribery, & money laundering. The investigation started under the Biden Administration.
#Virginia
“This is our last chance at generational wealth…I’ve got too old to not be greedy”.
Louise Lucas, the 82-year-old Portsmouth Democrat who serves as Senate President Pro Tempore was indicted by a federal grand jury on racketeering conspiracy, marijuana distribution, money laundering, honest-services fraud through bribery, and maintaining a drug-involved premises.
These charges come from a 45-page indictment unsealed today.
??Prosecutors allege Lucas directed what they call the “Lucas Enterprise,” a family-and-associates operation based out of Portsmouth, Virginia, that acquired and distributed at least 100 kilograms of marijuana and laundered the proceeds over about five years, generating an estimated $4.5 million to nearly $5 million.
??She allegedly used her legislative power - especially as Finance Committee chair through which budget-related bills must pass - to protect the operation from scrutiny and steer legislation and licenses that would enrich herself and her family.
??In an intercepted February 9, 2026, phone call with an unindicted co-conspirator, Lucas talked about pending recreational marijuana legislation she intended on influencing and the chance of a license that they could then share the proceeds from:
??In a later call, she said that she hope legalization would retroactively cover prior actions - meaning she’s openly admitting she knowingly broke the law and is hoping that if the activity is legalized, the new law will wipe her slate clean.
On or about January 31, 2026:
?LOUISE LUCAS and UCC #2 continued discussing marijuana and marijuana licensing as a way for LOUISE LUCAS to “get generational wealth and this is my last chance.”
On or about February 9, 2026:
??LOUISE LUCAS called UCC #2 and discussed the language surrounding the recreational marijuana legislation pending in the Virginia General Assembly and the possibility of UCC #2 receiving a license and sharing the proceeds with her because “this is our last chance at generational wealth . . .. I’ve got too old to not be greedy.”
On or about March 9, 2026:
??LOUISE LUCAS telephoned another Virginia legislator and informed them that she needed to get the marijuana license because “I got to get the license and I got to get the money rolling in because I want -- I want to make generation, create some generational wealth. . . . I need to be covered under his (UPTON’s) um, hemp license.”
Details:
??In August 2022, Lucas paid $750,000 for a 100% stake in a shell company that would hold a Virginia recreational marijuana license for a co-conspirator.
??She failed to disclose the interest on required Statement of Economic Interests forms.
??She met the person at her Capitol complex office in Richmond to receive a partial repayment and talked to other officials, including legislators, about the co-conspirator’s license qualification depending on getting the bribery payment.
??Lucas and her daughter Lisa Lucas-Burke opened The Cannabis Outlet in Portsmouth in 2021.
??Her other daughter Theresa Lucas-Lamb and grandson Ryan Eichelberger allegedly purchased marijuana, supervised distribution, and managed the store for the enterprise.
??arlton Upton Jr. of Chesapeake was her business partner in VA Freedom Life, an umbrella for The CBD Shoppe and The Cannabis Outlet starting in 2019; he managed the CBD shop and worked with her on recreational licensing efforts.
??On May 6, 2026, FBI agents executed court-authorized search warrants at Lucas’s downtown Portsmouth office and the Cannabis Outlet / CBD Shoppe.
??Agents recovered marijuana and firearms at the locations.
Attorney General Todd Blanche said that Lucas "put her own financial interests ahead of the people she was elected to serve and that the case is not political payback."
FBI Director Kash Patel said she "abused her position of public trust as a 30-year senator to enrich a criminal marijuana enterprise involving family members, using her committee chairmanship to insulate it and influence legislation for personal benefit."
“No one is above the law,” Patel said.
Co-defendants include her daughters Lisa Lucas-Burke and Theresa Lucas-Lamb, grandson Ryan Eichelberger, former business partner Carlton Upton Jr., Prince Albert William Hudson III, and Tameka Johnson.
