A Louisiana inmate who authorities began searching for after receiving a public tip was recaptured on Friday, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office.

The 10 inmates who broke out of a New Orleans jail in a stunning overnight escape last week used electric hair trimmers with multiple clipper blades to help cut their way through the cell walls, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

Leo Tate, who has multiple felony convictions, was supposed to be transferred from the New Orleans jail to a Louisiana prison.
