BATON ROUGE - Officials made a third arrest for one count of human trafficking during an investigation into a trafficking ring allegedly operated by two brothers.
Robert Gordon, 33, was arrested June 21 for one count of human trafficking and one count of criminal conspiracy, both felony charges.
According to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety, investigators responded to a hospital on March 27 regarding a patient that the staff believed to be a victim of human trafficking. Interviews with the woman revealed that she had reportedly been trafficked by Reginald Gordon, 31, in Texas as well as Baton Rouge and Denham Springs.
Reginald Gordon was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on April 5.
On June 11, however, it was found that Reginald had instructed Robert Gordon to pick up another woman recently discharged from rehab and start posting advertisements for their trafficking operation again. According to arrest documents, Reginald told Robert to give the woman narcotics frequently to "ensure she is working."
Robert Gordon was arrested June 21 for one count of human trafficking and one count of criminal conspiracy.
It was later found that a third person, Yawanna Spurlock, 29, was also involved in the ring, according to arrest documents. The victim identified Spurlock from a photo lineup and detectives found that Spurlock was the person responsible for collecting payments from the ring's clients through CashApp.
