FDLE Arrests Man In Escambia Travel Fraud Scheme

March 10, 2017

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has arrested a man for a travel reimbursement fraud that cost an Escambia County company thousands of dollars.

Agents with the FDLE arrested Doug Landry, 37, on one count of organized fraud over $50,000, related to a fictitious over billing scheme.

In 2015, Landry orchestrated an elaborate fraudulent scheme based on his work-related travel expenses. He created fictitious reimbursement receipts, incorporated fraudulent companies, and provided fictitious receipts to his employer, a company located in Pensacola. The company’s accounting department reimbursed Landry for approximately $152,000 from 2015-2016. Landry also utilized his own company, Reign Industries in Louisiana, to further his fraudulent activities in Florida.

FDLE began its investigation in October 2016 with assistance from the Escambia County State Attorney’s Office.  Landry was arrested today by FDLE agents and the Louisiana State Police and booked into the  jail located in Hammond, Louisiana, Tangipahoa Parish.

He will extradited back to Escambia County to face local charges.
