How incompetent must one be to allow a murder suspect to escape?
LSP HQ is massive and is on a massive plot of land meaning he couldn't just walk away and disappear in a minute or two and these idiots still haven't caught him.

Authorities were searching late Wednesday for a man who escaped from the Violent Crimes Unit at State Police Headquarters after he was brought in that afternoon for questioning about an attempted murder.
Baton Rouge police spokesman Sgt. L'Jean McKneely Jr. said Steven Corbitt, 35, was placed in a holding cell around 3 p.m. and was discovered to have escaped about 15 minutes later.
McKneely said authorities have been searching for Corbitt ever since, including using K-9 teams to search the building and surrounding areas.
The man is wanted on possible counts of attempted second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon and aggravated assault with a firearm, McKneely said.
Anyone with information about Corbitt's whereabouts is asked to contact the Baton Rouge Police Department.
The East Baton Rouge Violent Crimes Unit is the result of coordination between local law enforcement agencies that allows them to work together in their investigations. It's housed at State Police Headquarters off Independence Boulevard.
Corbitt has several prior arrests in East Baton Rouge Parish. His criminal history includes pleading guilty to carnal knowledge of a juvenile in 2008, according to online court records.

It’s my understanding that he was brought in for questioning but not cuffed.
However, I know for a fact that the holding cells at the VCU have been reinforced after a prior incident.

I know the term "sex offender" makes this sound all dramatic, but I really don't think that his carnal knowledge charge from over a decade ago has much bearing on this...

You're probably right. But this guy has possible charges coming his way and he ran away from law enforcement on Halloween.
If you don't have anything to hide, why run?

Article doesnt mention whether he was under arrest. If he wasn't, he was free to leave at any time and I don't see why this is a story.
If they did execute an arrest warrant and he was in custody then yeah, bad look for LSP.
What makes me think it's the former and not the latter is that they dont say he is now wanted on charges of simple escape.

Regardless, this is at least the second time they have had a suspect get out of the facility. They probably should fix their shite.
