St. Mary Parish Sheriff Scott Anslum announced Monday that Patrol Commander Captain Nick Rogers will serve as acting Warden for the St. Mary Parish law enforcement center.  

Capt. Rogers has served in the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office for 16 years, including serving as Assistant Warden from 2014 to 2016., according to Anslum.

Warden Robin Landry has been transferred to another position within the Sheriff’s Office, he said. 

The announcement comes just a week after two deputies were fired following an ongoing internal investigation involving the escape of 4 inmates from the St. Mary Parish Jail.

All 4 escapees were re-captured.  

25 year old Jeremy Perez then escaped from the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center days later and  Anslem said he is still on the run. 

A search for a new Warden will begin immediately, according to Anslum.
