BATON ROUGE- Planting drugs, coverups, quotas, a term called snapping - it is how the Baton Rouge drug squad handled itself, a former officer told WBRZ in a tell-all interview.
Jeremiah Ardoin did not shield his identity and said he wanted to expose the truth in an explosive conversation with WBRZ Chief Investigator Chris Nakamoto recently. What he said in a TV interview has only been heard directly from a small group: The FBI, the Baton Rouge Police Chief and Nakamoto. What he has told each person has resulted in a department investigation, officer transfers, a police officer’s arrest and hundreds of drug charges being dismissed.

BATON ROUGE – Former Baton Rouge Police Chief Wayne Rogillio died, the city announced Wednesday.
He was a police officer for more than three decades, joining the ranks in 1962 and serving as chief for seven years starting in 1985.
In 2018, Rogillio and his wife were involved in a 4x4 accident after the vehicle fell off the side of high terrain in Colorado.
Current BRPD Chief Murphy Paul said in a statement: “Fortunately, I had the opportunity to meet this extraordinary public servant during my time as Chief. Chief Rogillio’s dedication earned him a reputation as a fine man and mentor to law enforcement officers throughout Baton Rouge. Those who worked with Chief Rogillio knew him to be a firm, but fair leader loved by all for his dedication to his officers and the Baton Rouge community.”
Alton Sterling’s family is finally seeing some level of justice.
On Wednesday, the East Baton Rouge Metro Council of Louisiana voted on a $4.5 million settlement for the man who was shot by a police officer in 2016, per
“I am pleased our metro council was able to find a consensus and approve an offer of settlement in the Alton Sterling civil case,” tweeted Baton Rouge Mayor-President
Sharon Weston Broome. “After nearly five years, the people of Baton Rouge are finally one step closer to getting much-needed closure in this traumatic episode in our history.”
Now we must continue the work of building a more fair and equitable community, where every citizen is treated justly, no matter their race or ethnicity. Sharon Weston Broome (@MayorBroome) February 11, 2021
