Arrest and Charges
Jordan Cole Langlois, 35, was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on June 30, 2026 on multiple felony counts, including two counts of possession with intent to distribute a Schedule II controlled substance, one count of possession of a Schedule I controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bail was set at $31,500. A co-defendant, James Cavalier, faced similar charges with bail set at $15,500. Both are scheduled for a court appearance on Sept. 22, 2026.
Investigation Findings
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office Special Community Anti-Crime Team (SCAT) began probing Langlois in March 2026 after receiving a tip that a white male driving a Toyota truck was conducting narcotics transactions near East Magna Carta Place. LSU Police Department detectives later supplied information that Langlois, identified in police documents as a cook at the Delta Chi fraternity house, was allegedly distributing cocaine to LSU students.
Surveillance and a confidential informant’s controlled buy led to search warrants for three locations on Asoka Avenue, East Magna Carta Place, and West Chimes Street. Agents recovered:
- 2.05 oz (?58 g) of cocaine powder from a safe under a bed
- 8.6 g and 12.1 g of methamphetamine from the same safe and a fanny pack
- 9 g of cocaine powder from the fanny pack, plus 6 g from a gray backpack
- One dosage unit of MDMA, digital scales, a cut straw, empty baggies, and two 8-oz bottles of inositol (a cutting agent)
- 1.1 g of cocaine from the front cup holder of Langlois’s Toyota truck and 0.7 g of cocaine with $296 cash from his wallet
A separate report listed 70 g of packaged cocaine, 21 g of meth, and MDMA pills, indicating a variance in the quantified seizure totals.
Legal Proceedings
Langlois admitted to personal narcotics use but denied intent to sell. In a recorded interview, he acknowledged awareness of the safe’s contents and claimed the drugs belonged to him. The affidavit noted that the quantity of cocaine recovered was consistent with street-level distribution rather than personal consumption. Prior convictions include possession with intent to distribute Schedule I, II, and IV substances, felony theft, simple burglary, and drug paraphernalia offenses.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
LSU’s Delta Chi House Corporation President John Dunlap stated that Langlois was never employed by the fraternity or its catering company, contradicting earlier police documents that listed him as a cook for the house. Additionally, the exact amounts of seized drugs differ between the sheriff’s affidavit and the LSU Reveille’s reporting, leaving the precise scale of the operation unclear.
