Lyndell “Lynn” Price, the former co-founder of Houston's Turkey Leg Hut, has been indicted on three new federal charges related to firearms. The charges include one count of possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
The indictment, handed down by a federal grand jury, accuses Price of having firearms between 2019 and 2022 while allegedly selling marijuana. However, no drug trafficking charges have been filed. The new charges also state that in 2022 and 2023, Price had possession of shotguns, including one modified with a flamethrower attachment.
A previous conviction for federal tax fraud bars Price from owning firearms. In addition to the new gun-related charges, he faces federal conspiracy and arson charges connected to a 2020 fire at Bar 5015, a business owned by a former partner. If convicted, Price faces significant prison time, with the firearm charges alone carrying a minimum of five years.
