Days before she was set to leave office, Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson was hit Wednesday with a sweeping 30-count indictment alleging malfeasance and payroll fraud, authorities said. Chief Financial Officer Bianka Brown was also indicted on 20 felony counts. The indictment, brought by the office of Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, was returned by a special grand jury on Wednesday, marking a sudden and sharp conclusion to a historic mandate that began four years ago with promises of sweeping reform. Hutson’s 2022 victory over longtime incumbent Marlin Gusman was heralded as a watershed moment—the first time a Black woman had ever held the office. #neworleansjailbreak #jailbreak #jailbreakupdate
