Matthew Mire is now being held in a maximum security facility at Angola.
The accused killer of a Louisiana State Trooper was moved to the Louisiana State Penitentiary because of security concerns related to the high-profile nature of the case.
The request to hold Mire at Angola came from Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre.
Mire was first moved from the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison to Livingston Parish to be formally booked on the charges he faces in that parish. Hours later, he was then moved to Ascension Parish for the same reason. Mire spent less than two hours in Ascension Parish before being moved under heavy security to Angola.
The 31 YO Livingston Parish man is accused of a multi-parish crime spree on October 9 that left two people dead, including a Louisiana State Police Master Trooper Adam Gaubert. He is accused of shooting four people in all, killing two of them.
