An inmate at the Ascension Parish jail has been charged with manslaughter after an inmate he fought with earlier this week died in the hospital from his injuries, according to the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Stacy Leblanc, 56, of Belle Rose, faces a count of manslaughter after the other inmate, who received a severe head injury and was hospitalized in the ICU, died, the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Wednesday.

Leblanc had previously been charged with second-degree battery in the case.
