Gulfport, Miss – Peter Oliver Henry, 63, of New Orleans,
pled guilty today before U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden to possession with
intent to distribute heroin, announced U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Michelle A.
Sutphin, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s
Mississippi Field Office.
Henry will be sentenced by Judge Ozerden on March 20, 2020,
and faces a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 40 years in prison for the drug
charge and a minimum of 5 years of supervised release. He also faces maximum fines of $5,000,000.
On June 4, 2019, agents with the FBI’s Safe Streets Task
Force in Jackson County covertly purchased 4 ounces of heroin from Henry for
$10,000. Henry came to the parking lot
of a local Gulf Coast shopping mall and exchanged 5 bags of heroin for the
cash. Henry was subsequently arrested
walking into the mall, and the money used to purchase the heroin was recovered
from his car.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Safe Streets Task
Force investigated the case. The case is
being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Annette Williams.
