Two more people were arrested after authorities said they assisted some of the inmates who escaped from an Orleans Parish jail in Louisiana on Friday morning.

Louisiana State Police announced the arrests of Cortnie Harris, 32, and Corvanntay Baptiste, 38, in a news release Wednesday. They were charged with one felony count each of being accessories after the fact.

Harris was in contact via phone with an inmate before the escape, police alleged. Harris remains on the run.

Harris is also accused of transporting two escapees to multiple locations in New Orleans. Those inmates have not been captured, the release says.

Baptiste is alleged to have been in contact by phone and social media with inmate Corey Boyd, who was captured Tuesday night. Police said Baptiste provided food to Boyd as he hid in a residence.
