Connie Weeden, 59, was arrested for allegedly helping Jermaine Donald, an escapee from the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility. Weeden is charged with being an accessory after the fact and reportedly provided cash to Donald via a phone application. This follows the apprehension of two others, Cortnie Harris and Corvanntay Baptiste, accused of aiding other escapees. Authorities have stated they will continue to pursue all leads and hold those who assist fugitives accountable, emphasizing the threat such actions pose to community safety.
"According to Louisiana law, those convicted of accessory after the fact shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned for not more than five years."
"Law enforcement personnel from multiple local, state, and federal agencies will continue to pursue every lead until the remaining fugitives are located."
