‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ Speaks on Louisiana Jailbreak: ‘Definitely an Inside Job’
A massive jailbreak saw ten inmates flee a New Orleans jail, sending authorities scrambling and raising serious concerns about security at the facility.
Considering the scale of the May 16 jailbreak at the Orleans Parish Justice Center and the fact that six of the fugitives are still at large, speculation is raging about how much help these men have been receiving.
During an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday, Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman echoed the theory that the breakout was facilitated by an inside connection. Chapman also speculated that the help may be ongoing.
“What [are] ten felons doing in one cell?” Chapman asked, according to Fox News. “How did they ever get out of there without anyone watching them?
“So I think that far, not seeing surveillance and all that, I think it is definitely an inside job.”
As of Tuesday, only five of the ten fugitives have been recaptured, with the most recent being the Tuesday arrest of Corey Boyd, per CNN.
Authorities believe some of the escapees may have fled the New Orleans area, but that most are still present. Chapman says it’s possible that someone is helping conceal the missing men.
Chapman also speculated that they could have a meeting place arranged, but the ongoing manhunt may disrupt that plan.
Officials say the fugitives have been able to escape the few times the manhunt has come close to catching them.
