New Orleans Man Sentenced for Federal Gun and Drug Charges
U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that KENZIE FAULK, age 58, of New Orleans, was sentenced to credit for time served for violating federal gun and drug laws.
According to court documents, on October 16, 2016, KENZIE FAULK, a convicted felon, attempted to board a Southwest Airlines flight, departing from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, while he was in possession of a fully loaded revolver.
TSA personnel located the weapon in a bag that KENZIE FAULK was attempting to carry aboard the plane, which was destined to Los Angeles. TSA personnel became aware that a gun was inside of the bag when the TSA x-ray scan machine alerted to its presence. TSA agents confiscated the gun prior to KENZIE FAULK boarding the plane.
In the days following his arrest, members of the FBI learned that KENZIE FAULK was trafficking marijuana though the U.S. postal service. FBI agents conducted a search of KENZIE FAULK’s residence and located a wooden crate that had been shipped from Los Angeles to New Orleans.
After executing a search warrant, FBI agents located and confiscated three cellophane wrapped packages of high-grade marijuana inside of the crate, which was addressed to KENZIE FAULK.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that has been historically successful in bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
