The grandmother of Jermaine Donald, 59-year-old Connie Weeden, has become the third person arrested for assisting one of the New Orleans jail escapees.  Allegedly Grandmother Weeden sent money via a cell phone app after he escaped from jail.   Grandmother Weeden, was detained and booked at the Tammany Parish Correctional Center on felony charges of being an accessory after the fact, she faces up to 4 years in prison if convicted.

Jermaine Donald is one of five fugitives still on the run after slipping out through a hole carved behind a toilet at the Orleans Justice Center.
