Escaped Louisiana Prisoners Still on the Run

🐊 KNGT 🐊 | Louisiana — Here’s the thing. Most of us around here grew up playing hide and seek. The game’s fun… when you’re ten. But some folks in Louisiana apparently never stopped playing. Except now they’re not hiding behind the couch, they’re dodging law enforcement.

According to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, these are the most wanted fugitives in Louisiana. These aren’t just parking ticket skippers. These are people who flat-out vanished while on parole or probation. The state even put their pictures online hoping someone spots them between gas station runs or at the grocery store.

Why This Matters

Look, jokes aside, these people are considered dangerous or at least unpredictable. They were under supervision for a reason. If they’re out wandering around, it could put regular folks at risk.

That’s why the state posts their names, photos, and descriptions. It’s not just to catch them, it’s to keep the rest of us safe. Even a small tip can help get them off the streets and back where they belong.

So if you see someone from this list at the gas station, the crawfish boil, or the Piggly Wiggly, don’t be a hero. Call law enforcement. Let the pros handle it.
