Overview

• Sheriff Susan Hutson filed a court motion on May 27 seeking to bar District Attorney Jason Williams from the jailbreak probe, alleging his support for rival candidate Michelle Woodfork creates a conflict of interest.
• District Attorney Jason Williams referred investigations into the May 16 escape to Attorney General Liz Murrill, calling for state oversight of operational failures and vowing new charges once all escapees are recaptured.
• Two fugitives—four-time escapee Antoine Massey and convicted double murderer Derrick Groves—remain at large after two weeks, each now carrying a $50,000 reward for information leading to their capture.
• Law enforcement has arrested 14 individuals accused of aiding the breakout, including a maintenance worker who allegedly shut off water to remove a toilet concealing the tunnel exit.
• Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office has taken charge of a multi-jurisdictional inquiry and plans to issue findings and recommendations to shore up security and prevent future escapes.
