Larry Eugene Gunnin, III, Marijuana Trafficking, South Carolina 2023
GREENVILLE, S.C.
Larry Eugene Gunnin, III, 26, a resident of Greenville, South Carolina, has been dealt a severe blow for his involvement in the illicit marijuana trade.
Evidence gathered by authorities revealed that Gunnin and others conspired to possess and distribute marijuana, starting in or around 2020 and continuing up to January 2025. This brazen operation also involved the possession of firearms, which is a serious offense.
United States District Judge Jacquelyn D. Austin handed down a 15-year sentence, with Gunnin to serve 180 months in federal prison followed by a six-year term of court-ordered supervision. It is worth noting that there is no parole in the federal system.
This case was a result of a thorough investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Max Cauthen, III, successfully prosecuted the case, bringing Gunnin to justice for his crimes.
Gunnin's actions not only put himself at risk but also endangered the community with the presence of firearms and the distribution of illicit substances.
The federal prison sentence is a stern reminder of the consequences of engaging in such illicit activities.
