Why this matters in The Nashville
While the arrest of Jordan Cole Langlois occurred in Baton Rouge, the incident has implications for Nashville 's own college communities. As a city with numerous universities and colleges, Nashville faces similar challenges in preventing the distribution of controlled substances to students. The fact that Langlois was able to allegedly distribute cocaine to students while working as a cook at a fraternity house raises questions about the potential for similar activity in Nashville's own fraternity and sorority communities. Local law enforcement and university officials should take note of the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office's use of physical and electronic surveillance, as well as confidential informants, in building a case against Langlois. By studying the tactics used in this investigation, Nashville's authorities may be able to develop more effective strategies for addressing substance distribution on local campuses.
