The arrest came after an extensive multi-jurisdictional investigation spurred by information received by investigators. Through the investigation and information obtained, State Troopers and federal investigators learned that Al Khurdi had several thousand dosage units of different controlled dangerous substances hidden in a storage unit he was renting at the Safeguard Self-Storage facility located on Jefferson Highway in Baton Rouge. Investigators contacted Al Khurdi at his residence at 4350 Inniswold Road in Baton Rouge and confronted him with the information they gained through the investigation. Al Khurdi admitted to investigators that he had concealed several thousand dosage units of Lortab, Xanax, and other controlled substances in the storage unit he was renting.

During the search of the storage unit, investigators found over five thousand (5,000) dosage units of Lortab (Hydrocodone-Schedule II), Xanax (Alprazolam-Schedule IV), and Viagra (Schedule IV). Investigators arrested Al Khurdi and booked him into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of Possession with Intent to Distribute Hydrocodone, Alprazolam, and Viagra.
