If facing arson charges aren’t explosive enough (no pun intended), one of the co-founders of Turkey Leg Hut in Texas is in hot water… yet again.

To catch you up, Lyndell “Lynn” Price, who founded the now-defunct Turkey Leg Hut in Houston, a popular hot spot for residents and celebs that served up humongous stuffed turkey legs, was slammed with conspiracy to commit arson of a commercial building and conspiracy to use an interstate facility to commit arson of a vehicle charges in April, according to the Department of Justice.
He allegedly hired a group of four to set fire to Bar 5015, a rival establishment owned by his former business partner, in June 2020. Prior to the alleged arson, the indictment alleges that in April 2020, Price paid for a group to set fire to a stolen blue 1975 Chevy.
Now, Price has been charged with three new felonies in a superseding indictment.
Local news station KPRC 2 reviewed court documents that accused Price of possessing a gun, while he allegedly trafficked weed between 2019 and 2022. Prosecutors also claimed Price acquired a DP-12 shotgun and a 12-gauge shotgun— complete with an attached flamethrower.
As a result, a federal grand jury charged him with one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and two counts of felon in possession of a firearm on Wednesday (Nov. 3).
A judge ruled that Price must remain in custody pending trial, which was scheduled to start this month, but could be delayed considering the new charges. He plead not guilty to his original charges.
His indictment came just weeks after his ex-wife, Nakia Holmes, was indicted on charges of her own.
We previously reported how Holmes was arrested after police say she harbored a felon named Johnathan Saizon. He was wanted by cops after he allegedly forced his ex into his car, kidnapped her and beat her with his fists and a tire iron for hours on end.
During a traffic stop, Holmes allegedly denied knowing him and insisted no one else was inside her home. But cops said that wasn’t quite the truth.
While deputies were questioning Holmes during the stop after receiving a tip, they were alerted that Saizon was trying to escape from her Cypress house by jumping over a back fence, Fox 26 reported. He was arrested and so was Holmes. Saizon, 38, was charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault, and Holmes was slapped with hindering apprehension of a known felon charge — a felony. It’s unclear what their relationship is.
Holmes bond was set at $10,000, according to Click2Houston.com, and her public defender argued in court that the felony charge should be reduced to a misdemeanor because Holmes didn’t know Saizon had felony warrants. Her attorney said he’s confident Holmes will be “found innocent of all charges and will be exonerated.”
