Louisiana law enforcement officials have unveiled updated booking photos of four detainees who escaped from a New Orleans jail and now encounter additional charges.
The Louisiana Department of Public Safety provided new booking images for Kendell Myles, Robert Moody, Gary Price, and Dkenan Dennis. They allegedly broke out of the Orleans Justice Center on Friday, with six other inmates still unaccounted for.
Price, apprehended on Monday, is charged anew with simple escape, possession of a controlled substance, and unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling. Originally, he was arrested on charges of attempted first-degree murder, domestic abuse, and aggravated assault.
Myles was also charged with simple escape after he was found hiding under a car in a hotel parking lot on May 16. Moody and Dennis, too, were charged with simple escape, a Louisiana State Police spokeswoman told Fox News Digital.

Williams told police that one of the escaped inmates attempted to grab his phone and “get him to bring a book with cash app information.” He was booked into jail on Tuesday.
“This is a continuing investigation, and we will provide updates as often as possible. We will uncover all the facts eventually, and anyone who aided and abetted will be prosecuted to the full extent the law allows. I encourage anyone who knows anything, and even those who may have provided assistance, to come forward now to obtain the best possible outcome in their particular case,” Murrill said.

In a statement given to the New Orleans City Council on Tuesday, Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson took “full accountability” for the jailbreak.
“It is deeply troubling to me, as your sheriff, and I know it is equally troubling for you, the public, who we are sworn to protect,” Hutson said.
Hutson said in a Facebook statement she takes “full accountability for what happened.”
