Natchez Police Chief Cal Green said authorities received a tip that the escapee was spotted near the Providence Road area. Multiple law enforcement agencies are searching the area for the escapee, who was identified as Antoine Massey.
The bold New Orleans jailbreak occurred nearly two weeks ago, when the inmates yanked open a faulty cell door inside a jail, squeezed through a hole behind a toilet, scaled a barbed-wire fence and fled into the cover of darkness.
Authorities didn’t learn of the escape until a morning headcount, hours after the 10 men bolted for freedom. Graffiti was left on the wall at the scene of the crime, a message that read “To Easy LoL,” with an arrow pointing to the gap where the toilet once was.
City and state officials have pointed to multiple security lapses in the jail.
Eight of the 10 escapees have been located and transferred to a state correctional facility. Still on the lam are Derrick Groves and Massey.
