A Democrat official in Louisiana could be facing jail time for alleged involvement in a drug trafficking operation.
The Washington Times reported Tuesday that 25-year-old Democrat Mayor Tyrin Truong of Bogalusa, Louisiana, was arrested for his connections to drug trafficking and soliciting prostitutes.
Seven suspects were arrested in total, accused of distributing drugs like THC, opioids, marijuana, and ecstasy via social media, according to police.
The money from the sales allegedly went toward buying firearms used in other crimes.
Truong himself was not charged with distributing drugs, but was charged with solicitation of prostitutes and unauthorized use of another person’s vehicle.
