FDLE arrests man for travel reimbursement fraud

Agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrested Doug Landry, 37, of 28855 Old CC Road, Albany, Louisiana, 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 county jail located in Hammond, Louisiana, Tangipahoa Parish.
The case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 1^st Judicial Circuit.
