Third Arrest Made in Orleans Parish Jail Escape; Five Inmates Still at Large

Louisiana authorities announced the arrest of Connie Weeden, a 59-year-old woman, in connection with the escape of 10 inmates from Orleans Parish Jail. This brings the total number of arrests related to the incident to three. "Weeden is accused of helping one of the escapees who remains at large," said a spokesperson for the Louisiana State Police. The escape occurred last week, and while five inmates have been recaptured, five others remain at large. The incident has sparked a large-scale manhunt and raised concerns about jail security. The successful capture of Weeden demonstrates the ongoing efforts to bring all those involved to justice, offering a glimmer of hope in the continuing search for the remaining fugitives.
