Larry G. Turner, Fentanyl Distribution, Louisiana 2026

New Orleans, LA – In a major blow to the fentanyl trade in Louisiana, 41-year-old Larry G. Turner of Tangipahoa Parish has been found guilty of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute over 400 grams of fentanyl.

According to the indictment, Turner and several other individuals conspired to distribute and possess with intent to distribute multiple kilograms of fentanyl throughout the Tangipahoa, St. Tammany, and Washington Parishes region of the Eastern District of Louisiana. The conspiracy centered around Turner’s residence in Tickfaw, Louisiana.

The execution of a federal search warrant at Turner’s residence led to the recovery of over five kilograms of fentanyl in counterfeit pill form, along with multiple firearms. Turner faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years and up to life imprisonment, up to a $10,000,000 fine, and at least five years of supervised release.

U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Fentanyl Overdose Response Team, Hammond Police Department, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, 22nd JDC District Attorney’s Office, Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the Louisiana National Guard in bringing Turner to justice. The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Stuart Theriot of the Narcotics Unit.

The case against Turner is a stark reminder of the dangers of fentanyl and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to combat the opioid epidemic. As the investigation and prosecution of Turner’s case continue, it is clear that those involved in the fentanyl trade will be held accountable.

Turner is scheduled to be sentenced on April 9, 2026. In the meantime, he will remain in custody pending sentencing.
