Cantrell Withdraws Iceland Travel Bid, Judge Denies Request as Moot

The withdrawal leaves court-imposed travel limits unchanged pending a 2026 trial.

Overview

  • U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen Wells Roby ordered the request denied as moot after being notified of the withdrawal, according to court records.
  • Cantrell had sought permission to travel with family to Iceland from Oct. 7 to Oct. 13, but her attorneys pulled the request following telephone conferences with the parties.
  • Court filings show neither the U.S. Attorney's Office nor Cantrell's pretrial services officer objected to the proposed trip.
  • Existing conditions restrict her travel to Louisiana and require surrender of her passport following her indictment and arraignment.
  • Cantrell faces federal charges including conspiracy, wire fraud, obstruction and false statements, with a trial set for Oct. 19, 2026 alongside former bodyguard Jeffrey Vappie.
