In Central City, an increasingly familiar scene played out as rifle-toting state troopers and armored vehicles arrived as the sun set in an attempt to flush out one of five remaining fugitives.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Two women accused of assisting Orleans Justice Center jail escapees this week have been arrested, the Louisiana State Police said Wednesday (May 21). Courtnie Harris of New Orleans, 32, and Corvanntay Baptiste of Slidell, 38, each was booked with accessory after the fact to the May 16 escape.

Meanwhile, an inmate threatened to stab the employee with a "shank," a homemade knife, according to the employee's statement in an arrest affidavit.

Following records requests from The Post, officials paused the first known, widespread live facial recognition program used by police in the United States.

Authorities announced that a fourth inmate has been apprehended after escaping from a New Orleans jail on Friday with 6 other inmates.
