One of Pemiscot County jail escapees located in New Orleans

CARUTHERSVILLE, Mo. -- After missing nearly three weeks, one of the two Pemiscot County Jail escapees has been located in New Orleans, La.

On Saturday Pemiscot County Sheriff Tommy Greenwell said he'd been notified by the U.S. Marshals Service they had arrested William Carter, 27, of Kennett in New Orleans. No details of the arrest were given, Greenwell said.

"Two Pemiscot County deputies and an investigator with the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control will travel to New Orleans and interview Carter," Greenwell said.

Carter, who will now face additional charges, was previously being held in the Pemiscot County Jail pending court appearance for the charge of two counts of first degree murder.

Information about the whereabouts of the second escapee, Joseph Phillip Latamondeer, 41, of East Prairie was not given.

Latamondeer was being held on in the Pemiscot County Jail pending court appearance for several charges including first degree domestic assault, resisting arrest and theft when he and Carter escaped the Pemiscot County Jail on Oct. 15. Latamondeer is 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.

Individuals with information on the whereabouts of Latamondeer or sightings, contact Capt. Michael Coleman with the Pemiscot County Sheriff's Office at (573)-333-4101 or the U.S. Marshals Service (314) 539-2212.
