Nine charged in connection with massive Orleans jailbreak, including maintenance worker
2025-05-26
[4WWLtv] Authorities have charged nine individuals in connection with the daring escape of 10 inmates from the Orleans Justice Center last week, including civilians, an inmate and a maintenance worker.

Among those charged are Lenton J. Vanburen Sr., Angel McKey, Emmitt Weber, Trevon B. Williams, Casey Smith, Connie Weeden, Cortnie Harris, Corvanntay Baptiste, and a maintenance worker, Sterling Williams.
The names of the perps kind of give away what I expected.
The charges range from accessory after the fact to principal to simple escape. Investigators said the group aided the escapees in various ways, from providing transportation and supplies to harboring fugitives and facilitating communication.
Reading the charges at the link, it strikes me that the malefactors must have a cumulative IQ in the lower three digits…
So far, five of the 10 escapees remain at large, and a $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to their capture. Law enforcement continues an intense search effort involving local, state, and federal agencies.
