Drug Ring Bust Involving Ronny Howard Jr | Baton Rouge News

A major drug bust unfolded after months of surveillance, targeting Ronny Howard Jr. and his uncle Ronrico Terrell, who were caught moving tons of narcotics across the city — including fentanyl, heroin, and crack — with cash, guns, and scales seized during a July 9 raid. Agents watched them make quick deals on North Thirty-eighth Street and confirmed supply runs via a controlled buy on Gus Young Avenue. The operation ended in chaos when Howard tried to flee through a bathroom after SWAT breached a fortified door — while two kids were found inside. Norman Sims and James Tullier were also arrested, but four others remain at large. Howard claims the cash came from car sales, but agents say he has no reported income. All face serious drug and gun charges. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
