A woman accused of aiding in the jailbreak at the Orleans Parish Prison in New Orleans last month was arrested on Monday, authorities said.
Darriana Burton, 28, is a former Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office employee and is believed to be the girlfriend of Derrick Groves, a convicted murderer and one of the 10 inmates who escaped on May 16, the Louisiana Attorney General's Office said. She is facing a felony charge of conspiracy to commit simple escape.
Burton is one of at least 16 people who have been arrested and accused of aiding the escape of the inmates — what Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has called the worst jailbreak in recent state history. Most of the inmates were found in the following week of the escape, but two escapees remain at large: Groves and Antoine Massey, who is facing charges of rape, kidnapping and domestic battery.
