East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff’s deputies arrested Jordan Daigre, 35, and Deangelo Adams, then 18, after an anonymous tip led them to investigate Daigre as an alleged Baton Rouge drug dealer.[1] Deputies watched Daigre and his home on Skysail Avenue for several hours and obtained a search warrant.[2] On 19 February 2025 SWAT agents went to the house to execute the warrant, and Daigre refused to come out.[1] SWAT video showed Daigre flushing what appeared to be narcotics down a bathroom toilet, and Adams was caught after he ran from the back of the house.[1] Deputies also found that Daigre already had a warrant through the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.[1]

The search of the Skysail Avenue home turned up 1.04 pounds of marijuana (about 472 grams), alongside methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, MDMA and prescription pills.[1] The seized items included a stolen 9 mm Glock handgun, eight digital scales, a money counter, cutting agent, plastic bags and $386.[1]

Daigre was booked on charges including possession with intent to distribute a Schedule I drug (marijuana), possession with intent to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, obstruction of justice and resisting an officer.[1] The charges also included possessing a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a juvenile, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a stolen firearm.[1] Adams was booked on a cocaine possession charge and resisting an officer.[1] The WAFB account gives Adams’s age as 18, while WBRZ reported he was 19.[2]

WBRZ reported that the sheriff’s gang intelligence unit received the tip about Daigre in early February 2025.[2]
