The search is still on for a drug dealer, Lawrence Herald Jr., aged 77, who escaped a life sentence just a day before his court verdict. Herald was found guilty by a District Court jury for delivering a controlled substance – Fentanyl-laced narcotics. The conviction stemmed from a raid at his residence in 2019, where authorities discovered 113 pills initially thought to be hydrocodone. However, they turned out to be Fentanyl upon testing. Alongside these pills, approximately $10,000 in cash and a pistol were seized by El Campo police and Wharton County Sheriff’s deputies.
