Joy ride turns scary for three Vermilion Parish teenagers

What started out as joy ride in a sugar cane field, turned into a scary ordeal for three teenagers in Vermilion Parish.
According to Eddie Langlinais, Public Information Officer, and Violent Crimes Task Force Director for the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office, on September 17, 2022, the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigative Division was called out to investigate a report of an armed robbery that took place in the Leroy area of Vermilion Parish.
Detectives learned that two juveniles and an 18-year-old were joy riding in a sugar cane field when their truck got stuck. They called a friend for assistance and while waiting for their friend to arrive, an unknown male and female drove up in a car.
According to the victims, the male suspect was armed with a machete and the female suspect was armed with an AR-15 style weapon. The male suspect made threats of harm to force the 18-year-old and both juveniles out of their vehicle.
The male suspect then “slapped” the 18-year-old in the face with the machete and held it to his neck.
The male suspect then took a cell phone and driver’s license from two of the victims. After the victim’s friend arrived to pull the victim’s truck out, the male suspect allowed the victims to leave.
Through the investigation, detectives were able to positively identify the two suspects as 49-year-old Codi Morris Baudoin (DOB: 09-18-1973) and 32-year-old Brittnie Lea Davis (DOB: 05-22-1990), both of 4315 Leroy Road, Maurice, LA.
Arrest warrants were secured for both suspects, along with a search warrant for the residence.
The Sheriff’s Special Response Team was activated and executed the warrants. Both suspects were taken into custody without incident and booked into the Vermilion Parish Correctional Center.
Codi Morris Baudoin was booked on two counts of Armed Robbery and one count of Aggravated Assault with a bond of $160,000.
Brittnie Lea Davis was booked on 2 counts of Armed Robbery and 1 count of Aggravated Assault with a bond of $100,000.
