An English teacher arrested in connection with the escape of three maximum-security inmates in Southern California won't immediately face charges, but a man suspected of smuggling tools and weapons to the trio has been charged, authorities said Monday.
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackaukas announced that while there was insufficient evidence to charge Nooshafarin Ravaghi — who taught English at the jail in Santa Ana — prosecutors had enough to charge Loc Ba Nguyen in connection with the brazen escape. He was arrested Monday.
Nooshafarin Ravaghi
After nearly a week on the run, all the inmates were back in custody as of Saturday, when Hossein Nayeri, 37, and Jonathan Tieu, 20, were arrested in San Francisco after a tipster recognized their van in a Whole Foods parking lot. Bac Duong was arrested the previous day after turning himself into police
All three inmates were being held in isolation cells on Monay, authorities said.
Meanwhile, precautions were being taken to ensure Ravaghi does not leave the area while the Orange County Sheriff’s Department continues its investigation. She was arrested Thursday while the manhunt continued and booked on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony.
Despite her release on Monday, authorities said she could still face charges down the road.
