Description: New Orleans, LA - New Orleans Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Interstate Heroin Conspiracy

Stanley Futlton, age 40, a resident of New Orleans, was sentenced yesterday for conspiring to distribute more than a kilogram of heroin in the New Orleans area, after previously having been convicted in federal court for conspiracy to distribute heroin.

U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier sentenced FULTON to 240 months in prison, 10 years of supervised release following his prison term, and a $100 special assessment.

According to court documents, a series of court-authorized wiretaps on the cell phones of New Orleans area heroin dealers led Drug Enforcement Administration agents to identify co-defendant Fredrick Douglas Brooks III as a Houston-based heroin trafficker who was distributing kilogram quantities of heroin in the New Orleans market through drug and bulk cash couriers. FULTON was one of the New Orleans drug brokers who purchased kilogram and multi-kilogram quantities of heroin from Brooks’ network for further distribution in New Orleans.

U.S. Attorney Polite praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration in investigating this matter.

Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to 240 days in prison.
