Former U.S. Attorney and former Orleans Parish District Attorney Eddie Jordan is under investigation for allegedly providing an inmate with drugs, according to a release by the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office.
A courtroom deputy observed Jordan, who now works as a private attorney, allegedly handing an envelope to his client in criminal court. The deputy searched the envelope and discovered "illegal narcotics," the release said.
"This incident highlights the constant efforts made to introduce contraband into our facility even by attorneys. We commend Deputy Wilbert Charles and Deputy Prisca Christopher's diligent efforts to ensure that this contraband never successfully made it into the hands of an inmate," concluded the release.
OPSO declined to give further information on the timing of the incident, length of the investigation and whether the incident was isolated or part of a trend, citing the active nature of the investigation.
As U.S. Attorney, Jordan convicted former Gov. Edwin Edwards of corruption charges. Jordan took over the Orleans Parish District Attorney's seat from Harry Connick in 2003.
During his embroiled tenure,
a jury ruled that Jordan systematically discriminated against white employees. Two weeks after taking office, Jordan cleaned house, firing 43 employees-- all white but for one Hispanic. Within six months of his administration, Jordan had hired 68 people, 92 percent of them African-American. A federal jury of eight white and two black jurors unanimously found that Jordan enacted the changes because of the employees' races.
He eventually resigned in 2007 with a year left in his term.
In the days before his resignation, an armed robbery suspect was revealed to have been visiting Jordan's girlfriend Cherylynn Robinson before robbing a West Bank gas station. The suspect returned to Jordan's and Robinson's home immediately following the robbery.
The charges against that suspect were eventually dropped because of "severe and irreconcilable inconsistencies" between key witnesses' versions of events.
Jordan did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the contraband allegations.
