Summary
A federal jury just convicted 47-year-old John I. Davis of possessing firearms as a felon and conspiring to deal heroin—sentencing him to at least ten years in prison. Over three months in 2021, Davis and his girlfriend trafficked heroin across Louisiana’s Livingston and East Baton Rouge parishes, making deals in parking lots near fast-food joints and malls. Authorities found over 300 grams of heroin, multiple guns, and $40,000 hidden in a wall during a raid. Davis, already convicted in 2009 for cocaine trafficking, now faces additional penalties including supervised release, fines, and restitution. The case was a joint effort by local sheriffs and federal agencies including the DEA and ATF. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
