Two more inmates are still on the run, state police said. Jail escapees Dkenan Dennis, Corey Boyd, Gary C Price, Kendell Myles and Robert Moody were previously taken into custody by authorities. Many of the men were originally in the New Orleans jail awaiting sentences or trials for alleged violent crimes including murder. After the escape, a jail maintenance worker was arrested and accused of turning off the water to the toilet, an act authorities said helped the men get out. In addition, four other people have been arrested for allegedly helping the inmates once they were on the loose.
