Superintendent Cole Indicted in Corruption Probe | Baton Rouge News

LaMont Cole, East Baton Rouge Parish School System superintendent and former Metro Council member, turned himself in after being indicted on multiple corruption charges—including conspiracy to commit public bribery, money laundering, and malfeasance in office—spanning from late 2022 to early 2024. He’s not alone: Erica and Terral Jackson, linked to his firm Broad Innovation Marketing, also surrendered on similar charges tied to a broader probe involving CATS and other local officials. Attorney General Liz Murrill leads the investigation, which has already ensnared figures like Cleve Dunn Jr. and Courtney Scott. Cole denies wrongdoing, calling the indictment a “miscarriage of justice” based on association, and vows full cooperation while insisting he’ll be vindicated.
