A week and a half after 10 inmates broke out of a New Orleans jail, three of the escapees were captured Monday — leaving only two at large, according to the Louisiana State Police. Inmate Lenton Vanburen was detained in Baton Rouge, 72 miles northwest of New Orleans, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said in a post on X. Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were taken into custody in Walker County, Texas, about 330 miles west of New Orleans, by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Vanburen was caught while sitting on a bench near a department store, authorities in Baton Rouge said. He was originally in jail on suspicion of a parole violation, possession of firearm by a felon and illegal carrying of a weapon, Murrill said. “He will now face additional charges related to the escape,” she added. Tate and Donald were arrested after leading multiple law enforcement agencies on a high-speed chase, said the Huntsville Police Department. “The pursuit ended near US 190 and Geneva, where both subjects were taken into custody,” Huntsville police said in a Facebook post. Authorities found the two after developing information they were in the Houston area, according to Deputy US Marshal Brian Fair. Huntsville is about 70 miles north of Houston.
