Another suspect accused of helping inmates escape from a New Orleans jail was arrested Friday, authorities said.

The New Orleans Police Department reported that officers took four individuals into custody at a residence, among them was 28-year-old Emmitt Weber. He was apprehended for allegedly being an accessory after the fact to a simple escape.

Police said Weber helped two of the inmates after the jailbreak at the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility. 

Weber has become the newest suspect taken into custody for purportedly assisting in the escape that occurred on May 16. As of Friday, half of the 10 fugitives remain on the run.

The most recent arrest was made when Corey Boyd was taken into custody Tuesday.

The other inmates recaptured are Kendell Myles, Robert Moody, Dkenan Dennis and Gary Price.

Two others — Casey Smith and Cortnie Harris — have been arrested for allegedly aiding the escapees.

Another woman, Connie Weeden, 59, allegedly gave cash to Donald via a cellphone app. 

She is charged with one felony count of accessory after the fact.

The following fugitives are still at large:

  • Lenton J. Vanburen Jr., 26, faces charges of illegal carrying of weapons, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon, obstruction of justice and introducing contraband in prison.
  • Jermaine Donald, 42, faces charges of second-degree murder, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon and obstruction of justice.
