10 Inmates, Including Murderers, Escape From New Orleans Jail… May Have Had ‘Inside Help’
Some bolts were removed from the outside of the jail wall, so investigators were looking into who was in the area at the time, leading up to the breach.
Ten inmates broke free the prison: Antoine Massey, Lenton Venburen, Leo Tate, Kendell Myles, Derrick Groves, Jermaine Donald, Corey Boyd, Gary Price, Robert Moody, Dkenan Dennis and Keith Lewis.
Footage from inside the prison shows inmates attempting to rip a door open before fleeing, reportedly through a hole hidden behind a toilet.
WATCH:
Law enforcement was able to apprehend half of the escapees. Five, including a murderer, remain on the run. Police have alerted the public that the men are considered armed and dangerous.
Per Fox:
The arrests include 18-year-old Patricia Vanburen, 27-year-old Tyshanea “Minnie” Randolph, 47-year-old Lenton Vanburen Sr., and 40-year-old Angel McKey. A source confirmed to Fox News that Vanburen Sr. is the father of one of the escaped inmates, Lenton Vanburen.
The arrests come days after police apprehended another suspect accused of helping inmates on Friday. Police say Emmitt Weber, 28, helped two of the inmates after the jailbreak at the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility.
Two others — Casey Smith and Cortnie Harris — have been arrested for allegedly aiding the escapees. Another woman, Connie Weeden, 59, allegedly gave cash to Donald via a cellphone app.
