Alleged drug trafficker accused of being high while making false statement in court

I have first-hand, direct knowledge of Troy Turcotte, and the headline being circulated about him is false and deeply misleading.

Troy is not a drug dealer. He is not a liar. He did not commit perjury. These labels do not reflect reality, and they do not reflect the man I know or the facts of what actually occurred.

On the day the court later chose to characterize in a damaging way, I was with Troy from the moment he woke up until he went to sleep. I observed him continuously. At no point was he under the influence of any substance. What others interpreted as something sinister was nothing more than fear and anxiety—fear that his future, his freedom, and his ability to be present for his children were being decided by a system that often reduces people to allegations instead of truth.

Troy is a devoted father who deeply loves his children. He is a man navigating divorce, separation from his family, and the emotional toll of trying to rebuild a life after years of stability were taken away. Anyone who has lived through that understands how overwhelming and frightening it can be—especially when every word and expression is scrutinized and mischaracterized.

He is not a bad person. He is intelligent, talented, thoughtful, and compassionate. He is the kind of man who teaches the people around him, who shows up for those he loves, and who continues to move forward even when the system seems determined to paint him as something he is not.

This headline does not tell the truth about Troy. It reflects assumptions, exaggerations, and conclusions drawn from court narratives that are often presented to the public without context, without balance, and without the voices of those who actually know the individual involved.

If any reporter wants the truth—real truth, not recycled allegations or courtroom soundbites—they are welcome to speak with me. I am willing to answer questions and provide first-hand information. Stop relying solely on narratives that dehumanize people and turn complex lives into sensational headlines.

Troy Turcotte is not a monster. He is a human being, a father, and a man who has done nothing to deserve being portrayed the way this headline suggests.

My email to show, I will tell the truth and prove that these allegations are infact false. He has done no such thing this article portrays. So please do not judge this kind, amazing and innocent man from what this article says or any other that may be out there at this time. Tbjs.14@gmail.com
