Alexandria, LA (8/10/2023) – An arrest has been made in the investigation into two inmates who overdosed at the Rapides Parish Detention Center #3.Â
Corrections Security Investigators worked throughout the day conducting interviews and gathering evidence in the overdose investigation from last night.
Their investigation identified the suspect as Damien Lee Landry, 30, of Alexandria.
On Tuesday night, August 8th, Landry turned himself into RPDC-1 to serve a four-day administrative sanction for the LA Department of Probation and Parole. He was booked and then transferred to RPDC-3 during the evening of August 8th to serve the four days.
During the investigation, it was determined when Landry entered the jail initially; he was concealing suspected Fentanyl in a body cavity.
While at RPDC-3, Landry allegedly supplied multiple inmates, including the two inmates who suffered what is believed to be an apparent Opioid overdose, with suspected Fentanyl.
