New Orleans Jailbreak: Fifth Inmate Captured, Manhunt Continues

New Orleans Jailbreak: Fifth Inmate Captured, Investigation Continues New Orleans, LA – In a developing story that has gripped the city, authorities announced the capture of a fifth inmate who escaped from the Orleans Parish Prison on Saturday, May 17th. The escape, which involved ten inmates, is now considered the largest jailbreak in Louisiana's history. Five inmates remain at large. The arrest of a jail maintenance worker, Sterling Williams, on Tuesday has added a significant twist to the investigation. According to an arrest affidavit, Williams told investigators that one of the inmates "threatened to shank him" and forced him to turn off the water in a cell, allowing the escape. Williams now faces ten counts of "Principal to Simple Escape" and one count of "Malfeasance in Office." "This investigation is still an ongoing investigation, and so there could be more arrests that will follow," stated a spokesperson for the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office in a press conference Tuesday. The spokesperson did not comment further on the ongoing investigation. The capture of Corey Boyd, the youngest of the escaped inmates, adds to the complexity of the case. Boyd faces serious charges, including second-degree murder and aggravated battery. The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office continues its search for the remaining five fugitives and is working to determine if any other individuals were involved in facilitating the escape.
