The Mobile Police Department responded to a call within our jurisdiction for a subject who was brought to AltaPointe Health by a neighboring law enforcement agency late Monday afternoon.
Through the course of AltaPointe’s thorough intake measures, the staff realized right away the subject was not who he claimed to be. It was discovered he gave the previous law enforcement agency false information. Once their suspicions were heightened, the Mobile Police Department was notified immediately. Our officers responded and were able to properly identify the subject as Lee Collins III who is wanted on two counts of murder in Louisiana.
We notified the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office, and they are coming to interview the subject and begin the process of having him extradited back to Louisiana.
The Department of Public Safety’s partnership with AltaPointe Health remains strong, and the staff knew immediately what action to take when contacting us for assistance. Their fast thinking and calm demeanor helped bring this to a quick resolution.
We have no further comment as all other inquiries should be directed to the agency investigating the case. No additional information will be released.
