Third Person Arrested in Connection with Orleans Parish Prison Escape
taken into custody on Wednesday and is the third person to be arrested in connection with the escape of Terrance Robinson, 31, from the Orleans Parish Prison. Robinson, who was facing multiple charges including armed robbery, escaped from the prison on April 29 along with four other inmates. The other four inmates have been recaptured, but Robinson remains at large. Weeden is accused of providing assistance to Robinson after his escape, including giving him a place to stay and providing him with transportation. Weeden has been charged with harboring a fugitive and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. This latest development has raised concerns about the security and management of the Orleans Parish Prison, which has been plagued with issues in the past. According to authorities, the inmates were able to escape by breaking through a window in their dormitory and using a rope made from bed sheets to climb down. The prison has since implemented additional security measures and increased patrols in the area. The search for Robinson is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper security measures and the consequences of aiding a fugitive. As the investigation continues, the Orleans Parish Prison is facing scrutiny and calls for reform to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future."
