Man convicted of dealing meth, fentanyl and heroin from Baton Rouge ‘stash’ sentenced to 22 years – WBRZ

BATON ROUGE — A Baton Rouge man recently convicted of dealing methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin from a Baton Rouge stash has been sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison by a federal judge, officials said Monday.

Corey Terrell Gardner, 33, was sentenced to 260 months in federal prison after being convicted of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, as well as possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

Gardner will also serve five years of supervised release and forfeit any money he received from drug dealing.

The court said Gardner operated a stash for methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin from March to September 2019 in Baton Rouge. Authorities seized 27 ounces of methamphetamine, 2.7 ounces of heroin and 1.6 ounces of fentanyl, along with several weapons that Gardner illegally possessed when they raided the facility.

Gardner previously had multiple felony convictions and was prohibited from owning a gun. In January 2018, he was convicted of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and was sentenced to more than a year in prison.

In 2016, WBRZ also reported that Gardner was arrested for sells methamphetamine from his car in Baton Rouge. The charges were dropped in 2018, court records show.
