According to the report, a maintenance worker at the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office has been arrested in connection with the escape of 10 inmates at the Orleans Justice Center. Sterling Williams, 38, admitted to agents that one of the escapees advised him to turn the water off in the cell where the inmates escaped from, according to investigators

The report said that instead of reporting the inmate, Williams turned the water off as directed, allowing the inmates to carry out their scheme to successfully escape," a news release read. Williams was charged with 10 counts of principal to simple escape and malfeasance in office.

The report also stated that six of the 10 men who escaped from the jail on Friday by slipping through a hole in the wall behind a toilet are still on the run. A fourth fugitive, Gary Price, had been captured Monday by the Louisiana State Police and the NOPD in New Orleans East. Authorities are now offering a $20,000 reward for each inmate.

The men range in age from 19 to 42 and face a variety of charges including aggravated assault, domestic abuse battery and murder. Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson stated during a news conference last week that she believes the jail break was an inside job, adding that there are indications that people inside her department helped the fugitives escape.
