**Two Additional Arrests Made in Connection with New Orleans Jailbreak Fugitives: The Plot Thickens Like Gumbo**
In a shocking twist that has left the Big Easy scratching its collective head, two additional arrests have been made in connection with the infamous New Orleans jailbreak that has more plot twists than a season finale of a reality TV show. Authorities announced the capture of local residents, Clyde “The Slippery” McGee and his cousin, Bessie “The Bouncer” Johnson, who were allegedly aiding the escapees by providing them with snacks and a getaway car that was, ironically, a bright pink golf cart.
Sheriff Bob “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” Thompson stated, “We thought we were dealing with hardened criminals, but it turns out they were just hungry. I mean, who can resist a good po’ boy? We’re still trying to figure out how they managed to escape in a golf cart. I guess they really wanted to ‘drive’ home the point that they were on the run!”
Witnesses reported seeing McGee and Johnson at a local bar, where they were allegedly overheard discussing their escape plan over a round of daiquiris. “I thought they were just talking about the Saints’ chances this season,” said bartender Rita “The Rumor Mill” Rodriguez. “But then I heard something about ‘Operation Gumbo Getaway’ and I knew something was fishy—like the crawfish in last week’s boil.”
In a bizarre turn of events, the duo claimed they were merely “supporting local business” by providing the fugitives with food and transportation. “We thought they were just really committed to their diet,” McGee said while munching on a beignet. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to escape with a side of jambalaya?”
As the investigation continues, local authorities are left wondering if they should be more concerned about the jailbreak or the culinary choices of the fugitives. “At this point, we might as well start a cooking show,” Sheriff Thompson quipped. “We’ll call it ‘Escape to Flavor Town.’”
Stay tuned as this story develops, and remember: if you’re planning a jailbreak, maybe skip the golf cart and stick to something a little less conspicuous—like a food truck.
