" This story is factually wrong. The search warrant and arrest were not made at 3188 Croydon but instead at the Deluxe Motel in Slidell. Joshua Langlois does not live on Croydon either at the wrong address of 3188 or the correct address of 3818 Croydon where a different Langlois lives. This article has caused much hysteria on the Croydon and needs to be retracted. "
