Teen Escapes Courthouse in Orange Jumpsuit
Description
A 19-year-old inmate, Donnie Stevenson, pulled off a daring escape from the Tangipahoa Parish courthouse—barefoot, in shackles, and in an orange jumpsuit—by climbing over a loading dock gate. Found just blocks away hiding under a truck within 30 minutes, he’s now facing additional charges for escape and will return to Angola. The incident, involving serious crimes including rape and armed robbery, has prompted a security review and the suspension of one deputy. This isn’t his first escape attempt, highlighting the ongoing challenge of securing courthouses against determined inmates.
