Two people were arrested Wednesday for allegedly helping fugitives who escaped in Friday’s New Orleans jailbreak, police said.

According to the Louisiana State Police (LSP), 32-year-old Cortnie Harris of New Orleans and 38-year-old Corvanntay Baptiste of Slidell were arrested for assisting the fugitives. They have been charged with one felony count each of accessory after the fact and were transported to the Plaquemines Parish Detention Center.

“The initial investigation revealed that before the escape Cortnie Harris was in contact via phone with an escapee who remains at large. Furthermore, investigators determined that Harris transported two escapees, who remain at large, to multiple locations in New Orleans,” LSP said. “Investigators also determined that Corvanntay Baptiste was in contact via phone and social media with escapee Corey Boyd (captured) and helped facilitate getting him food while he was hiding in a residence.”

Sources close to the investigation told Fox News that Baptiste was Corey Boyd’s girlfriend. She allegedly did not cooperate with the police and said she did not participate in the escape. Boyd was captured by the Louisiana State Police on Tuesday night. 

Harris is Leo Tate’s girlfriend, who allegedly admitted to her role in aiding the escapees, and gave a confession. Tate is still on the run. 

LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL EXPECTS MORE ARRESTS IN NEW ORLEANS JAIL ESCAPE INVESTIGATION

Attorney General Liz Murrill said in a post on X that all five inmates captured so far will be held without bond.

The news comes on the heels of a jail maintenance worker being arrested Tuesday for allegedly helping the inmates.

Sterling Williams, 33, an Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office employee and maintenance worker in the facility, was arrested and charged with principal to simple escape and one count of malfeasance in office for allegedly turning off the water in the cell from which the escapees fled.

LOUISIANA JAIL WORKER ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY HELPING 10 INMATES ESCAPE ORLEANS PARISH FACILITY

He is being held on a $1.1 million bond, $100,000 per charge.

In an arrest affidavit, he claimed that he was coerced into aiding the escapees under threat of stabbing. 

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry on Wednesday signed an executive order which addresses the following:

• The Louisiana Inspector General will oversee case file audits.
• The Louisiana Department of Corrections will review jail standards compliance at the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility.
• All Department of Corrections housed at the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility will be relocated to state-run facilities.
• The Louisiana Supreme Court was asked to continue reviewing the Orleans Criminal Court, and the judiciary commission was asked to “assess judicial performance in high-crime parishes.”
• Court clerks were asked to “document continuance requests, and judges are urged to address unnecessary delays.”
• The Metropolitan Crime Commission was asked to “develop a system to track cases from arrest to conviction.”
• Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill will lead an investigation into the jailbreak.

On Tuesday night, LSP announced the capture of Boyd, 19, who was awaiting trial on charges of second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery and threatening a public official before the escape.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday that she believes the remaining escapees are still located in New Orleans. 

“I’ve notified neighboring state officials that they could have headed in that direction, but my gut says that they’re probably staying close to home unless they have significant resources somewhere else,” Murrill said. “You’re just unlikely to go somewhere where you have zero support and help, most of these, if not all of these individuals grew up in New Orleans.”

This story is developing. 

The Trump Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is warning Democrats and leftists doxxing ICE agents and impeding immigration enforcement operations that it is “not playing games.”  

In response to an online video of a Democratic state representative in Tennessee allegedly stalking ICE agents, DHS said, “This Administration is not playing games with the lives and safety of our ICE officers.” 

The DHS statement claimed that “people doxxing our officers and impeding ICE operations are siding with vicious cartels, human traffickers, and violent criminals.”

The statement came in response to a video posted on social media by Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., allegedly showing Tennessee Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn “stalking” ICE agents in the Nashville area.

The video appears to show Behn and another woman in a car saying they were following and “bullying the ICE vehicles and state troopers.”

“This is a win,” Behn said, laughing.

Ogles said that Behn and her companion were “openly admitting they were trying to stall law enforcement from stopping illegal aliens.” Ogles said “this isn’t just reckless, it’s aiding and abetting.”

In response to the incident, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that “attacks and demonization of ICE have resulted in officers facing a 413% increase in assaults.”

McLaughlin said DHS “has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information” and that “any individual who participates in the doxxing of our brave federal immigration agents will be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

DHS and the U.S. Secret Service on May 1 served a search warrant on the home of a Los Angeles resident accused of posting fliers in various Southern California neighborhoods with the names, photos, phone numbers and locations of ICE officers working in the region. 

Earlier this year, anti-ICE activists began putting up posters featuring the personal information of ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers working in the Los Angeles and Southern California area. 

The posters include the faces of several ICE agents and say, “These armed agents work in Southern California. ICE and HSI racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies. They kidnap people from their homes and from the streets, separating families and fracturing communities. Many people have died while locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers.”

Abigail Jackson, a spokesperson for the White House, told Fox News Digital that “whether it’s [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz slandering ICE officers as ‘Nazis’ or members of Congress physically assaulting them, the Democrat party is truly unhinged, and their dangerous behavior is putting lives at risk.

“They are defending illegal terrorists and attacking those who are keeping Americans safe,” Jackson added, noting the administration “will hold anyone accountable who commits a crime against [federal law enforcement officials].”

Behn did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

A man has been charged with the murder of a missing Alabama woman who authorities suspect was intentionally struck by a vehicle. 

The Florence Police Department said Tuesday that human remains believed to be Autumn Paige Strickland were found at a home. 

The 38-year-old was reported missing over the weekend.

“Those remains will be sent to a forensics lab to be analyzed for proper identification,” Florence police Capt. Jason Fort said during an update on the case.

The suspect, Logan Rogers, 28, is being held in the Lauderdale County jail without bail, pending a court hearing. Rogers was arrested earlier Tuesday at a home.

Fort said his initial charge of attempted murder was upgraded to murder after Strickland’s remains were discovered. 

She was last seen on May 16, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said, noting at the time that she may have been living with a condition that impairs her judgment.

Rogers is accused of hitting Strickland with his vehicle, a 2012 Kia Soul, on May 17, according to court documents obtained by WAFF-TV. 

He allegedly circled back after striking Strickland the first time before hitting her again with the car, the news outlet reported.  

Rogers allegedly came back to the scene 30 minutes later with a pickup truck and picked up Strickland’s body.

Strickland’s body was later found in a burn barrel on Rogers’ property. It’s believed that he tried to burn her body, the report states, citing court documents.
