Four inmates escaped a south Louisiana jail over the weekend and two were still missing Tuesday, authorities said.

Authorities were unaware that four inmates had escaped until a phone call tipped them off, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office said Monday.

The inmates escaped in pairs — the first on Saturday afternoon and the second on Sunday, said Deputy Chief Jimmy Travis at a news conference, WVUE-TV reported. Travis said all four broke through a corroded piece of chain-link fence, crawled under an 8-inch (20-centimeter) gap in a wall, and scaled two razor-wire fences.

Jail authorities learned of two of the escapes Sunday afternoon when a tipster reported seeing two of the inmates at a relative’s house looking for a place to stay.

    Can you link whatever comment(s) you misread to mean anything like that?

    I could, but then you did all the personal attacks and along with a bunch of lies about me immediately following that question, so nah.

      I guess you made up something terrible about me to make yourself feel better about having let yourself engage in casual bigotry. Typical. You’re dealing with a lot of cognitive dissonance right now.

      Out for the day- see you tomorrow if you’re still obsessed!
