Larry G. Turner, age 41 and of Tangipahoa Parish, pled guilty on January 15, 2026 before U.S. District Judge Barry W Ashe to Conspiracy to distribute, and possess with intent to distribute, more than 400 grams of fentanyl, announced U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle.
Judge Ashe scheduled sentencing for April 9, 2026. At sentencing, Turner faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten (10) years and up to life imprisonment, up to a $10,000,000 fine, and at least five (5) years of supervised release. There is also a $100 mandatory special assessment fee.
