A New Orleans man has been sentenced to prison time after being convicted of conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin.
Larry Hardy, 50, of New Orleans, was sentenced to 90 months of incarceration, followed by 5 years of supervised release, after having previously pled guilty to one count of conspiring to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin.
According to court documents, Hardy was one of twelve defendants charged in a 23-count indictment on July 25, 2014, in connection with a heroin-trafficking organization operating in New Orleans East.
The investigation, led by the Drug Enforcement Administration, found that the organization was responsible for distributing at least 15 kilograms of heroin in the New Orleans area.
As part of the arrests in this case, federal agents have seized from the twelve defendants approximately $1,200,000 in assets, including vehicles, currency, jewelry, and real property, as proceeds made from the sale of heroin.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration in investigating this matter, and Assistant United States Attorney Brandon S. Long was in charge of the prosecution.
