NEW ORLEANS – A grand jury has indicted infamous millionaire murder suspect Robert Durst on gun and drug charges in Louisiana.

The indictment includes one count of illegal carrying of a weapon with a controlled dangerous substance and one count of possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon.

The move comes amid a series of hearings for Durst in New Orleans that have been held to determine whether he will be extradited to California to face murder charges there.

His attorney, Dick DeGuerin, has been trying to have his client extradited to California, but Wednesday’s indictment could throw more wrenches into the plan.

Durst was caught by FBI agents on March 14 in the lobby of the J.W. Marriott Hotel on Canal Street, where he was staying under the alias Everett Ward after fleeing his home in Houston. When FBI agents went to Durst’s room to retrieve his passport, they found more than $42,000 in cash and a latex mask, testified Jim O’Hern, investigator with the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s office.

Durst has been in prison in Louisiana ever since.

Durst fled his home in Houston at the same time a six-part documentary – “The Jinx” – was airing on HBO. The documentary raised new questions about Durst’s connections to Berman’s execution-style murder, as well as the earlier disappearance of his wife in New York City where Durst was an heir to a multi-million dollar real estate empire.

In addition to those two unsolved cases, Durst admitted killing a neighbor, Morris Black, while living under an assumed identity in Galveston, Texas in 2001. In that case, he also confessed to dismembering Black’s body and dumping the remains in Galveston Bay, but he was acquitted at trial by claiming self-defense. After his acquittal, he pleaded guilty to evidence tampering by abusing a corpse.
