Heroin Dealer Sentenced to 64 Months in Federal Prison
A Tangipahoa Parish man has been sentenced to 64 months in federal prison for his role in a heroin trafficking operation.
According to court documents, Redis McGary, 53, pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin and being a convicted felon in possession of firearms. McGary was previously convicted of a felony offense punishable by more than 1 year of imprisonment in the Tangipahoa Parish Criminal District Court.
The case began on October 7, 2020, when McGary pleaded guilty to two counts of the Bill of Information. Count One charged him with possession with the intent to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin, while Count Two charged him with possession of a .38 special/357 Mag Derringer pistol and a .22 caliber Derringer pistol.
U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced the sentencing, which was handed down by United States District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle. For Count One, Judge Lemelle sentenced McGary to 64 months of imprisonment, 4 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment. For Count Two, Judge Lemelle sentenced McGary to 64 months of imprisonment, 3 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment. Both sentences are to be served concurrently.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the Hammond Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Bayonle Osundare was in charge of the prosecution.
McGary’s sentencing serves as a reminder of the severe consequences of heroin trafficking and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to combat this deadly crime. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
