BATON ROUGE - In the culmination of a months-long investigation, deputies made an arrest of an alleged fentanyl and crack cocaine distributor operating out of Baton Rouge. 

Deputies with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office, along with other law enforcement such as the National Guard, the Baton Rouge DEA, and the Central Police Department arrested Kevin White, 33, Monday.
