A Grand Chute man who sold narcotics, including fentanyl, out of his furniture store has been sentenced in federal court.
WBAY reports that 32-year-old Christopher Turner, owner of Turner’s Discount Furniture, was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison, followed by eight years of supervised release.
Turner pleaded guilty to charges of possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute, possessing firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Turner was arrested in December of 2023 after a confidential informant told authorities he was selling drugs out of his furniture store.
Over 50 grams of fentanyl and cocaine were found in his store, while two 9-millimeter pistols, a mix of fentanyl and heroin, and counterfeit $20 bills were found in his residence.
Turner’s state charges were dropped after he was presented with federal charges that he was ultimately found guilty of.
