Eight inmates escaped a New Orleans jail, likely aided by sheriff's office employees, prompting an investigation and emergency protocols. Authorities warned the escapees are "armed and dangerous." One inmate was recaptured, and a reward was offered for information on the others. The escape route revealed a precut hole in the jail wall, with messages left behind by the inmates. More than half of those who escaped face serious charges, including murder. Sheriff Hutson has opened a formal investigation into the escape.
Sheriff Susan Hutson indicated that 8 inmates escaped with possible inside help, emphasizing their status as "armed and dangerous," prompting immediate emergency protocols.
Evidence suggests that several sheriff's office employees may have assisted the escape, leading to administrative leave for three individuals linked to the incident.
Photos of the escape route revealed a metal toilet pushed aside, exposing a precut hole where inmates allegedly wrote messages like "To easy lol."
With inmates charged with serious crimes such as murder and aggravated assault, Sheriff Hutson has begun an investigation into the circumstances of the escape.
