A maintenance worker at the New Orleans prison was arrested on charges that he closed the water to a toilet on the wall, which had 10 men who escaped from the facility earlier Friday for their resort.

Investigators allegedly admitted that one of the men "recommended him to turn off the water in the cell" and then arrested Sterling Williams, a 33-year-old prison maintenance worker, the general chief attorney of Louisiana said in a statement.

The fourth of 10 men captured Monday to stand out from New Orleans prisons, authorities are still searching for six as the survivors' pursuers enters their fifth day on Tuesday.

Many of these men are awaiting trial or sentence, including murder, when they open the door of the cell while lonely prison staff monitor them for food. Then they slid through a hole behind the toilet, scaled the barbed wire fence, climbed over the highway, and fled into the darkness.

Kendell Myles, 20; Robert Moody, 21; Dkenan Dennis, 24, was arrested a few hours later. Authorities did not arrest any other escapees on the weekend before detaining 21-year-old Gary Price late Monday.

Williams also said that a prisoner who escaped later threatened to "school" or stab him if he did not turn off the water. Additionally, before jailbreak, another man tried to get Williams' phone and tried to get him to bring a book with information about the cash app.

The Attorney General's Office claimed that Williams "deliberately and maliciously assisted in the escape."

"If the prisoner removes the sink in the cell and disconnects the remaining pipes from the still-open pipes, the plan of escape will not succeed and may flood the cell, thus attracting attention to its behavior," the affidavit reads.

Williams faces 10 in principle charges for simple escape and office malfeasance. Williams' attorney could not be found immediately.

After that, Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson, a public servant in charge of the prison, said the faulty locks and cell doors and a shortage of well-documented staffing were key factors in the breakthrough. As the Associated Press reported, 10 days before the escape, Hutson's office asked money to repair the problematic locks and cell doors.

But other officials said Hutson, who oversees control and custody of OJC detainees, is responsible for the security lapses that led to Friday's breakthrough in prison, which has been under federal surveillance and consent ordinances designed to improve conditions there for years.

A few days before Williams' arrest, it was obvious that those who escaped were likely helpful within Hutson's ranks. There are also signs that people with the ability to use power tools will use to escape the vulnerability. There is a lack of monitoring of cell pods contained in escapees; and, it took seven hours for law enforcement to disclose to them anyone who escaped from the OJC.

Louisiana Representative Aimee Adatto Freeman, who represents much of New Orleans' urban area, called on Hutson to resign in multiple investigations into Friday's escape, said: "She didn't take responsibility, but instead had a sharp finger elsewhere. Blaming the funding was a bias - not an excuse."

Hutson will be re-elected in October. Three challengers looking to stand out said Friday’s escape should disqualify her, according to local news station WVUE.
