NEW ORLEANS—Devin Morgan, age 19, a
resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, was charged yesterday in a one count
indictment by a federal grand jury for conspiracy to distribute heroin,
announced U.S. Attorney Jim Letten.
If convicted of the single count
indictment, Morgan faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years, a maximum
fine of $1,000,000, and at least three years of supervised release following
any term of imprisonment.
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten reiterated that
an indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the accused must be
proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case was investigated by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, along with the New Orleans Police Department.
Assistant United States Attorney Abe McGull of the Violent Crime Unit is
prosecuting the case.
