Sgt. Christopher Fisher Arrested on Drug Charges


A Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office sergeant was arrested today on drug charges.

Sgt. Christopher T. Fisher was booked with illegally obtaining a controlled dangerous substance.

Col. John Fortunato, JPSO spokesman, said the sergeant had been "doctor shopping" for such drugs as hydrocodone, oxycodone and Lunesta and was seeing several different physicians to get prescriptions for the drugs.

JPSO had been investigating Fisher for the past month, Fortunato said.

Fisher has been a member of the Sheriff's Office for 12 years and was assigned to the Land, Air, and Sea Emergency Rescue Division, Fortunato said.
