A third alleged accomplice has been arrested in connection with the escape of one of ten inmates from the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility, according to Louisiana State Police.

Connie Weeden, 59, is believed to have assisted the fugitives and was taken into custody following an investigation that revealed she was in contact via phone with escapee Jermaine Donald – both before and after the escape. Donald remains at large. 

Authorities say Weeden gave cash to Donald via a “cell phone app.” She has been charged with one felony count of accessory after the fact and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.
