Fugitive Antoine Massey, one of two inmates still at large after a mass escape from the Orleans Justice Center on May 16, has posted videos to Instagram denying key allegations in his jailbreak case.
Appearing on the account “@_007chucky,” Massey claimed he was “let out” of the jail, not part of an escape, and disputed reports that he threatened a jail maintenance worker to facilitate the breakout. Authorities had earlier stated Massey threatened to stab worker Sterling Williams unless water was shut off to a cell—allowing inmates to remove a toilet and flee through the wall.

Massey also denied the domestic abuse battery charge that initially landed him in jail, suggesting it stemmed from a false report by a jealous partner. He displayed what he claimed was evidence exonerating him.
Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson issued a response urging Massey to surrender, stating cooperation could reduce potential additional charges.
In the videos, Massey also appealed for help from figures like Donald Trump, Lil Wayne, and Meek Mill. He accused Louisiana authorities of corruption and said he was escaping unjust prosecution.
Massey and Derrick Groves remain at large, while eight of the original 10 escapees have been recaptured. Over a dozen alleged accomplices have been arrested.
Crime Stoppers, the FBI, and ATF have jointly raised the reward to $50,000 for information leading to the capture of either fugitive.
