Grimy Times has learned that a Slidell man is facing serious time for his alleged role in manufacturing and dealing in explosive materials without a license.
Devin Juneau, age 38, was charged on May 9, 2024, by a federal grand jury in a four-count indictment announced by U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans. The indictment alleges that Juneau engaged in the business of manufacturing and dealing in explosive materials without a license, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 842(a)(1) and 844(a)(1). He also faces charges of improper storage of explosive materials, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 842(j) and 844(b), and Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 555.201, et seq.
If convicted, Juneau faces up to 10 years of imprisonment, up to a $250,000 fine, and up to 3 years of supervised release for Counts 1, 2, and 3, and up to 1 year of imprisonment, up to a $250,000 fine, and up to 3 years of supervised release for Count 4. He also faces payment of a $100 mandatory special assessment fee as to all 4 counts.
According to court documents, on February 6, 2024, March 6, 2024, and May 1, 2024, Juneau manufactured and sold explosive materials without a license, and did not store the explosive materials as required by law. The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence.
The case was investigated by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Troy Bell of the Violent Crime Unit. U.S. Attorney Evans reiterated that the indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Juneau’s alleged crimes have sent shockwaves throughout the community, leaving many to wonder how he was able to operate without detection. The investigation and prosecution of this case serve as a reminder of the importance of strict enforcement of laws related to the manufacturing and storage of explosive materials.
