The audacious feat, one of the biggest jailbreaks in Louisiana history, exploited safety issues in the jail that had previously been cited by federal authorities.

Murrill said in a statement Tuesday that Williams allegedly told investigators an inmate "advised him" to turn the water off in the cell that would be used for the escape, which involved removing a toilet from the wall.
