518Olivia Discon, Michael Paco Hill and 516 othersNew Orleans Escapees Apprehended
May 26, 2025
In a multi-agency effort, the Huntsville Police Department has apprehended two of the remaining escapees from Orleans Parish who broke out of jail on May 15th. Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were arrested on May 26th after leading law enforcement officers from several agencies on a high-speed chase through the Huntsville area. The pursuit ended near US 190 and Geneva, where both subjects were taken into custody. Donald was charged with outstanding warrants for Escape and Resisting an Officer; his original charges were Illegal Carrying a Weapon and Second-Degree Murder. Tate was charged with outstanding warrants for Aggravated Escape and Escape from Custody. He was in custody on the original charge of Obstruction of Justice. Both Donald and Tate were taken to the Walker County Jail for processing. Chief Slaven would like to thank all of the agencies involved for helping take these dangerous suspects into custody.
This incident underscores the vital role of cooperation and communication among local, state, and federal agencies. Such collaboration is essential to safeguard not only our residents but all communities.
