A maintenance employee, Sterling Williams, was arrested after being implicated in the escape of ten inmates from a New Orleans jail. Williams is accused of turning off water in the cell upon the inmates' request, enabling their escape plan. Authorities charged him with malfeasance in office and ten counts of principle to simple escape. The investigation, which is ongoing, suggests that inmate escapes may be facilitated by inside help, underscoring significant concerns about jail security and employee complicity.
"Instead of reporting the inmate, Williams turned the water off as directed allowing the inmates to carry out their scheme to successfully escape."
"Authorities previously said they believed that the inmates got inside help to escape the New Orleans jail."
