After 10 inmates escape from Orleans Parish Prison, Sheriff Susan Hutson is under fire for leadership failures, prompting a pause in her re-election efforts.

Authorities have arrested an Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office employee following the escape of 10 inmates, the Louisiana Attorney General's office confirmed Tuesday. Sheriff Susan Hutson has said she believes the jail break was an inside job and last week told reporters her agency had suspended three employees pending an investigation.

Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson, who oversees the jail where 10 inmates escaped last week, announced Tuesday that she is suspending her reelection campaign, just hours after fielding tough questions from local leaders at a tense city council meeting.
