If you live near NOLA there's 7 of the 10 escapees on the loose. Heads up.


Excerpt:

Ten inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail after breaching a wall behind a toilet and possibly having help, the local sheriff said Friday. So far only three of the men have been found.

"We have indication that these detainees received assistance in their escape from individuals inside of our department," Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson said at a news conference Friday afternoon.

After breaching the wall at the Orleans Justice Center in New Orleans, the inmates left through a door used to bring in supplies around 1 a.m., scaled a wall and ran across the interstate, Hutson said. The words "To Easy LoL" can be seen written on the wall above the hole, with an arrow pointing toward it, according to a photo shared by the sheriff's office.

The escape wasn't discovered until hours later, at 8:30 a.m., when staff noticed them missing during a routine head count, according to the sheriff.

While inmates are normally in lockdown at the facility at 10:30 p.m., the inmates were able to escape because of defective locks on the cells, officials said. "There are deficiencies in these facilities that cause public safety concerns," Hutson said.

Following the escape, three jail employees were suspended without pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation, the sheriff's office said Friday evening. It's unclear why they were subject to disciplinary action.

The 10 escaped inmates have been identified as Corey Boyd, Dkenan Dennis, Jermaine Donald, Derrick Groves, Antoine Massey, Robert Moody, Kendell Myles, Gary Price, Leo Tate and Lenton Vanburen, according to the sheriff's office.

Online records show the inmates – who range in age from 19 to 42 years old – face a wide array of charges. Several have been charged with murder. Other charges include aggravated assault with a firearm, false imprisonment with a weapon, armed robbery with a firearm and domestic abuse battery.

Officials initially reported that 11 people had escaped the facility, but later said it was a miscount and 10 had escaped. The inmate had been moved to a different cell, but it had not been updated in the system, Hutson said.

Three escapees were found in various parts throughout the city, authorities said. Investigators have "active leads" on the other individuals, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said at a news conference Friday night. The fugitives will be relocated to Louisiana state prisons.

One of the escapees, Myles, was captured after deputies found him hiding under a car at a hotel parking garage, according to the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office. Myles ran away when troopers tried to make contact with him, but he was quickly apprehended, Louisiana State Police said. Myles was previously charged with attempted second-degree murder, according to Orleans Parish records. He has been rebooked for a new charge of simple escape, the sheriff's office said on Facebook.

Another escapee, Moody, was also captured following a Crime Stoppers tip, the sheriff's office announced Friday night. He had previously been charged with aggravated second-degree battery, among other charges.

A third person, Dennis, was taken into custody, the sheriff's office said. He was previously charged with armed robbery with a firearm, according to Orleans Parish records.

"You can run, but you CANNOT HIDE. We will hunt each of you down," Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said in a social media post Friday night.

Hutson said the sheriff's office is working toward getting the seven remaining inmates back into custody and investigating exactly how they escaped the facility. Investigators are combing through phone calls and messages to identify who the inmates communicated with and interviewing jail employees and inmates. More than 200 law enforcement personnel are searching locations where the escapees could potentially be.

The FBI's New Orleans field office is helping to locate the individuals and is offering a reward up to $5,000 for tips leading to their arrest. Crime Stoppers is offering another $2,000 reward for each apprehension.

"We do acknowledge there is no way people can get out of this facility without there being some type of lapse in security," Hutson said. "It's almost impossible…for anybody to get out of this facility without help from the outside."

While the sheriff blamed the escape on poor infrastructure and understaffing, officials say there was a dangerous delay in communication to the public and other law enforcement agencies.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill called for an investigation and for anyone involved with the escape to be arrested and prosecuted. Because the escapees may have crossed state lines, she also contacted attorneys general in Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma and Tennessee so they can alert their law enforcement agencies.

Wow that's a blast from the past. I cannot hear that song without seeing in my minds eye a hopped up Chevy El Camino lighting up the tires , rolling out and flipping over into a ditch! Witnessed by a bus load of teenage detasslers, we all laughed our asses off for the rest of the week at the thought. Story was he owned for less than a day, wanted to impress his buds on the crew.

I hope they are able to determine the root cause of the escape. Too frequently it's an inside job and some member of the guard force has been compromised. If so, heads should roll.

Seems my hunch was valid…an inside job. If found guilty I think he should serve the same sentence as those he freed upon the unsuspecting public.
