NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — An inmate has been charged with assisting in the May 16 jailbreak from the Orleans Justice Center.

According to the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, Trevon Williams allegedly helped the 10 inmates to escape, and has now been arrested and charged with 10 counts of principal to simple escape.

Per the arrest warrant, Williams was reportedly in the cell at the time of the escape and provided the other inmates with a blanket and a shirt to help them to clear the razor wire fence. When questioned about his involvement and shown surveillance footage, officials say Williams claimed to not remember anything about the incident.

Williams was already in the Orleans Parish Jail on charges unrelated to the escape, but has since been rebooked with the new charges.
