Derrick Groves arrested: Final escaped Louisiana inmate captured after 5 months; found hiding in ‘crawl space’

Derrick Groves, the last of 10 inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail nearly five months ago, was captured at a residence in Atlanta on Wednesday, the US marshals service confirmed. Groves, convicted of murdering two men during Mardi Gras 2018, had been on the run since May 16 after breaking out of the Orleans justice center with nine other prisoners. Deputy US Marshal Brian Fair said Groves was located after a tip to Crimestoppers Greater New Orleans and further investigation. The arrest followed a standoff with Atlanta Police and US marshals. “It took almost three hours to locate him in the house, gas had to be deployed into the house multiple times by (the) Atlanta Police Department’s SWAT team, and he was ultimately located hiding in a crawl space,” Fair told CNN.
