Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Deputies and Detectives are currently searching the area near the Elmer Community for an escapee from a work crew that occurred on July 25.
According to initial information, an Inmate Work Crew was working at the Tioga Substation yesterday at approximately 3:30 pm when one of the work crew was discovered missing.
Daniel Lee Burns, 39 of Alexandria, left the work crew while retrieving tools for those working inside the building. When deputies went to check on him, he was gone.
Deputies and Corrections Security Investigators responded and began their investigation and believe Burns was picked up by someone. Through their investigation, Investigators tracked down some individuals who they believe may have assisted in Burn’s escape at 51 Kent Avenue.
At a little past midnight last night, Sheriff’s Detectives, Corrections Security Investigators and RADE Agents located Heather Ann Page, 29 of Boyce and Kevrick Kwaun Garrison, 32 of Alexandria at a residence at 51 Kent Avenue in Alexandria. Both suspects were taken into custody without incident and arrested on various charges. Heather Ann Page is being held on a $46,000 bond. Garrison is being held on a $21,000 bond.
As their investigation continued throughout the night, Investigators tracked Burns to a residence in the 6300 block of LA 112 in Elmer. When Deputies and Detectives arrived, Burns fled the residence into the heavily wooded area off of LA 112. Other Deputies and Detectives along with the K-9 Unit from the Winn Chase Team, responded to the area and are still searching for the suspect.
