NEW ORLEANS — The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office has recaptured an inmate who escaped from the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex on Friday.
LPSO says 23-year-old Leroy Miles Jr. squeezed through a drainage hole after removing a metal cover. According to investigators, Miles was helped by one or more inmates and a person outside of the facility.
Sheriff officials said Miles was booked on into the complex on September 4 after the Lockport Police arrested him for aggravated flight from an officer and obstruction of justice. He was also being held on charges of second-degree murder in Lafayette and Terrebonne Parish.
