NOLA Inmate Escape: Jail employee arrested

On Tuesday, authorities arrested a jail employee in connection with the escape of 10 inmates from a correctional facility in New Orleans. In a statement, the Louisiana Attorney General's office said that 33-year-old Sterling Williams, an Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office maintenance worker, admitted to agents that one of the inmates advised him to turn off the water in the cell where the inmates escaped from. The release went on to say, "Instead of reporting the inmate, Williams turned the water off as directed allowing the inmates to carry out their scheme to successfully escape." Williams is being charged with 10 counts of principal to simple escape and one count of malfeasance in office.
