In Central City, an increasingly familiar scene played out as rifle-toting state troopers and armored vehicles arrived as the sun set in an attempt to flush out one of five remaining fugitives.

Nearly a week after 10 inmates yanked open a faulty cell door inside a city jail and moved the toilet to squeeze through a hole, five remain on the lam.

Half of the 10 escaped inmates from the Orleans Parish Justice Center are now in custody, after a fifth inmate was recaptured Tuesday, according to law enforcement authorities.
