April 26th 2025.
In a shocking turn of events, the former co-owner of the popular restaurant, Turkey Leg Hut, located in the Third Ward of Houston, Texas, has been indicted on federal charges. The charges include conspiracy to commit arson of a commercial building and conspiracy to use an interstate facility to commit arson of a vehicle. Lyndell "Lynn" Price, a 42-year-old Houston native, was officially charged on April 8th according to reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Price, who was once a co-owner of Turkey Leg Hut, is now a co-owner of The Oyster Hut. However, his past actions have come back to haunt him as he is accused of being involved in a plot to set fire to another local establishment, Bar 5015, which is owned by Price's former business partner, Ricky Berry. The FBI reports that this plot resulted in a massive explosion at Bar 5015, causing significant damage to the building.
Berry, who was shocked and devastated by the explosion, described the scene of the aftermath as "wood everywhere" and expressed his disbelief over the situation. As FBI investigators continue to gather evidence, Berry and the community are struggling to come to terms with the fact that Price, someone they trusted and considered a neighbor, could be involved in such a destructive act.
It is reported that in June 2020, Price recruited two co-defendants, Armani Williams and John Lee Price, to help him carry out the explosion. Williams, 27, and John Lee Price, 39, are accused of pouring gasoline on the entrance of Bar 5015 and setting it on fire. Berry, who considered Price a close friend, expressed his shock and disbelief over the situation, stating that they were more than just business partners, but also neighbors who relied on each other for support.
As Price, Williams, and John Lee Price await their detention hearing on May 1st, they could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if found guilty of the arson-related charges. They have also been charged with conspiracy to use an interstate facility to commit arson of a vehicle, which could result in an additional five years in prison.
The fallout from these charges has been devastating not only for Berry and the community but also for Price's former business, Turkey Leg Hut. The restaurant closed its doors in November of last year after being hit with a lawsuit from U.S. Foods, claiming that Turkey Leg Hut owed them over $1.2 million. As the investigation continues and the truth comes to light, the pain and shock of Price's alleged actions continue to reverberate throughout the community.
