Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson indicted on 30 felony counts following 2025 jail escape

Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson and Chief Financial Officer Bianka Brown were indicted on felony charges related to a May 2025 escape of ten inmates from the Orleans Justice Center in New Orleans. Hutson faces 30 counts including malfeasance, falsifying records, and obstruction of justice; Brown faces 20 similar counts. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill stated that all ten escapees were recaptured and that Hutson's failure to comply with legal requirements and take basic precautions enabled the escape.
