BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge man was arrested after being accused of helping an escaped inmate found in Baton Rouge.

According to an affidavit, Orleans Parish Jail escapee Lenton Vanburen was arrested in the 9600 block of Old Hammond Highway on May 26. During a search of Vanburen, officers found a room key for the Super 6 Inn and Suites.
