The penalty for harboring a fugitive in Louisiana can range from prison time to fines and community service. This varies greatly depending on the type of fugitive and the circumstances of the crime. Fines can reach over $5000 and prison can last as long as about 3 years in most cases. If the fugitive is a murderer, the person who harbors him or her could also be charged as an accessory to the crime.

What is harboring a fugitive?

Harboring a fugitive refers to the crime of knowingly hiding a wanted criminal from the authorities. Federal and state laws, which vary by state, govern the crime of harboring a fugitive. Although supplying funds may make one an accessory after the fact, supplying financial assistance to a fugitive does not rise to the level of harboring or concealing. The federal statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1071, requires proof of four elements: (1) proof that a federal warrant had been issued for the fugitive' s arrest, (2) that the accused had knowledge that a warrant had been issued, (3) that the accused actually harbored or concealed the fugitive, and (4) that the accused intended to prevent the fugitive' s discovery or arrest.
