New Orleans, Louisiana – TERRY BAHAM JR., the 37-year-old kingpin of a St. Bernard Parish drug operation, has admitted to violating federal controlled substances and gun control acts. Baham, Jr. stood before United States District Judge Brandon S. Long on August 12, 2025, where he pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute substantial quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana. In a gritty courtroom revelation, Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson announced the charges.
According to court documents, it was in October 2021 that St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s deputies got wind of Baham Jr.’s drug activities at his home in Chalmette. With a search warrant in hand, deputies uncovered and seized a mind-boggling amount of drugs: nearly 112 grams of fentanyl, 74 grams of cocaine, 14 grams of meth, 405 grams of pot, and 112 THC cartridges. They also没收了四支枪械，包括Beretta、Glock和Zastava Arms品牌的手枪与步枪。
For his drug-related crimes, Baham Jr. is staring down a mandatory minimum term of five years and a maximum sentence of forty years in the slammer. The financial penalties are severe as well – up to $5 million in fines await him. If convicted on the firearm count, he faces an additional five years, consecutive to any other sentence. Supervised release and special assessment fees add further weight to his legal nightmare.
This case is a testament to the relentless efforts of law enforcement agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney André Jones, leading the prosecution in the Narcotics Unit, has vowed to bring justice to the streets of Louisiana.
As Baham Jr. awaits sentencing, the grim reality of his criminal enterprise underscores the ongoing battle against drug trafficking across the nation. His fate serves as a stark reminder that no one is above the law when it comes to federal drug and gun control violations.
