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.
