Troubled New Orleans jail apologizes after releasing detainee by mistake

Orleans Justice Center, from which 10 inmates escaped in May, freed Khalil Bryan, accused of violent crimes, in error

The jail in New Orleans from which 10 inmates escaped in May mistakenly released another detained man on Friday, according to authorities.

Khalil Bryan, 30, was being held on a $100,000 bench warrant related to a failure to appear for arraignment on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm, domestic abuse child endangerment and home invasion, officials said. He was also being held on other charges as well as a warrant from a neighboring jurisdiction.
