The girlfriend of escaped inmate Derrick Groves is in custody and accused of playing a part in last month's jailbreak at the Orleans Parish jail.
U.S. Marshals arrested Darriana Burton on Monday for conspiracy to commit simple escape.
Burton is a former jail employee, and is accused of picking up at least one of the ten escaped inmates immediately after they broke out.
“We will continue to pursue anyone and everyone who has aided and abetted these criminals," said Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill.
Groves and fellow escapee Antoine Massey are still on the run. The nationwide search for them is now in its fourth week.
