LSU Drug Accusation

Months-Long Sting Led to Fraternity House Bust

The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office ran a multi-month undercover investigation before making its move. Investigators gathered enough evidence to secure search warrants through the 19th Judicial District Court, according to WISTV. The warrants allowed deputies to search Langlois's home, where they found cocaine, methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia.

Langlois worked as a cook at an LSU fraternity house, giving him regular access to students on campus. Authorities say he used that position to distribute drugs directly to students, according to WTOK.

Three Felony Charges Filed Against Langlois

Langlois was booked on three separate charges. The most serious is possession with intent to distribute a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance — cocaine. He also faces a charge for possession of a Schedule I controlled dangerous substance, which covers drugs like heroin and methamphetamine. A third charge covers possession of drug paraphernalia, according to WVVA.

Schedule II drugs are classified as having a high potential for abuse and limited accepted medical use. A conviction on the top charge in Louisiana can carry a sentence of up to 30 years in prison. Bail for Langlois was set at $31,500, according to KWTX.

LSU Campus Community on Alert After Arrest

The arrest raises questions about how long drug sales may have been happening inside an LSU fraternity house. Langlois had a role that put him in close daily contact with students. The investigation suggests the operation was not a one-time event but a sustained distribution effort, according to AZ Family and WLBT.

No statement from LSU or the affected fraternity has been publicly released. The sheriff's office has not confirmed whether additional suspects are being sought. The case remains active.
