An escape<\/a> from Louisiana\u2019s Assumption Parish Detention Center has led to a corrections officer quitting his jailhouse job. The escapee was captured last week and is back in custody on a casino robbery charge.<\/p>\n

The unnamed worker quit under pressure, said Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon<\/a>, according to The Advocate<\/em>, a local newspaper. The corrections officer faced firing if he didn’t step down.<\/p>\n

Employee Error at Jail<\/h2>\n

Corrections officials quickly launched an internal review of last Tuesday\u2019s breakout. Initial findings report the ex-worker didn’t follow proper protocol, Falcon said. Officials called it a case of \u201cemployee error.\u201d The inquiry is ongoing.<\/p>\n

\n

When addressing the escape, Lonny Cavalier, commander of the Assumption Sheriff\u2019s criminal administrative section, confirmed last week there was a \u201cbreach in operation protocol in maintaining the count of inmates,\u201d WAFB<\/em>, a local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOur facility is as secure as the people who work it,\u201d Cavalier added. \u201cWe are making changes to make sure this does not happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Falcon described the break-out as \u201can internal administrative matter.\u201d The corrections officer\u2019s identity was not released.<\/p>\n

The escapee, Roller Avila, 19, of Donaldsonville, La., is one of eight suspects who allegedly had a role in the September 29 robbery of Cane Row Truck Stop & Casino<\/a>. He was charged with armed robbery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Thursday, Avila was captured in Jefferson Parish, La, which is some 80 miles from the jail from which he escaped.<\/p>\n

Escapee Faces More Charges<\/h2>\n

Avila was initially placed in Jefferson Parish Sheriff\u2019s Correction Complex. He was to be returned to Assumption Parish Detention Center.<\/p>\n

More charges against Avila connected to the escape are likely, The Advocate<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Besides Avila, other robbery suspects were identified as Jose Luis Gordillo, 18, of Gulfport, Miss., Hector Omar Barahona, 20, of New Orleans, La., and Brayon Chinchilla Pacheco, 18, of Harvey, La. Earlier arrests included Jonathan Lopez, 19, of Harvey, La., Norman D. Escalate, 18, of Terrytown, La., and an unnamed 17-year-old from Gretna, La.<\/p>\n

Each was charged with armed robbery with a firearm. A 16-year-old from Marrero, La., was charged with being an accessory after the fact to armed robbery with a firearm.<\/p>\n

\n

Deputies are investigating if any of the suspects are connected to other robberies, The Advocate <\/em>said. Besides Avila, most of the other suspects are in the Assumption Parish Detention Center Pacheo is currently in custody in Kansas, incarcerated on several unrelated charges. He will face a charge in Louisiana after the Kansas charges are addressed in courts in that state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Authorities didn’t say how much cash was stolen in the casino robbery.<\/p>\n

The Cane Row gaming property is located in Assumption Parish on Highway 70, some 79 miles west of New Orleans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
