NAPOLEONVILLE – Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Leland Falcon announced the arrests of two Baton Rouge residents in connection with a months-long financial crimes investigation.
Investigation began with identity theft complaint
Detectives initiated the investigation on August 25, 2025, after a victim reported an unauthorized charge discovered on his credit report. Authorities say the fraudulent activity involved a loan application submitted to secure an automobile loan.
The loan was ultimately approved for more than $19,000.
As the investigation progressed, detectives uncovered evidence of additional alleged crimes including identity theft, forgery, bank fraud, and computer fraud. Investigators worked closely with fraud investigators from the financial institution involved and obtained key documentation tied to the case.
Further investigative efforts included gathering records from multiple financial institutions and companies, along with telephone records that ultimately linked the activity to the suspects.
On Thursday, February 19, 2026, Assumption Parish detectives, assisted by Baton Rouge City Police, executed a search warrant at a residence located at 6055 North Foster Drive in Baton Rouge.
Following the search, the suspects were taken into custody and initially booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison as fugitives from Assumption Parish.
