A third suspected collaborator has been apprehended in relation to one of ten inmates who fled from the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility, as reported by Louisiana State Police.

Connie Weeden, 59, allegedly aided the escapees and was arrested after investigators found evidence of her communicating with escapee Jermaine Donald by phone, both prior to and following the jail break. Donald is still on the run.

Officials state that Weeden sent money to Donald using a “cell phone app.” She faces a felony charge of accessory after the fact and has been detained at the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.

10 inmates escaped from the jail, according to authorities.
