Texas authorities released video showing the pursuit and arrest of two New Orleans jail inmates who escaped on May 16.

Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were taken into custody on Monday after a high-speed pursuit concluded in Walker County, Texas, as reported by the Louisiana State Police. Their arrest was carried out by the Texas Department of Public Safety in collaboration with multiple law enforcement agencies.

Footage shared by the Texas Department of Public Safety captures the suspects driving in the wrong lane before being intercepted by law enforcement officers.

Body-camera recordings depict Texas authorities pulling one man from the SUV through the passenger window before re-arresting him. Meanwhile, the second individual was removed from the vehicle via the passenger door.

Donald was initially charged with second-degree murder, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon and obstruction of justice. Tate was charged with simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon, illegal carrying of a weapon, motor vehicle theft and multiple drug counts.

Lenton Vanburen, who also escaped from the Orleans Justice Center, was also arrested on Monday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

According to WDSU, Daishanae Massey was arrested on Tuesday and booked on a charge of accessory after the fact. Fourteen people have been arrested for allegedly helping the inmates who escaped. Massey is accused of helping Antoine Massey, according to officials.
