Description: New Orleans, LA - The United States of America charged Larry David felony drug and gun possession.
Larry Davis, age 41, from Washington Parish, Louisiana, was sentenced to 204 months in prison in connection with his convictions for heroin and gun charges.
On August 6, 2019, DAVIS pled guilty to conspiring to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin, and possessing a firearm despite being a felon.
For the heroin conspiracy charge, Judge Wendy B. Vitter sentenced DAVIS to seventeen years (204 months) in prison. For the charge of possessing a firearm as a felon, Judge Vitter sentenced DAVIS to ten years (120 months) in prison, concurrent with his sentence for the heroin conspiracy. This resulted in a total sentence of 204 months in prison. DAVIS’ term of imprisonment will be followed by four years of supervised release. Judge Vitter sentenced DAVIS as a career offender, based on his prior narcotics convictions.
DAVIS’ codefendant, ALEX MILLER, pled guilty on July 23, 2019 to the same heroin conspiracy charge and other firearms charges. Judge Wendy B. Vitter sentenced MILLER to 130 months in prison on January 23, 2020.
