Texas authorities released video showing the pursuit and arrest of two New Orleans jail inmates who escaped on May 16.
Both Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were arrested on Monday following a high-speed chase that ended in Walker County, Texas, according to the Louisiana State Police. Donald and Tate were arrested by the Texas Department of Public Safety in an operation that included several law enforcement agencies.
Video released by the Texas Department of Public Safety shows the suspects’ vehicle going in the wrong direction before eventually being stopped by law enforcement officials.
Body-camera video shows one of the men being pulled out of the SUV’s passenger window by Texas authorities, when he was then re-arrested. The other inmate was pulled out of the car through the passenger door.
