**Fifth Suspect Arrested in New Orleans Jailbreak Conspiracy: The Plot Thickens Like Gumbo**
In a shocking twist that has left the Big Easy reeling, authorities have arrested a fifth suspect in the notorious New Orleans jailbreak conspiracy, which has been described as “more convoluted than a jazz solo.” The latest addition to the lineup is none other than local street performer and self-proclaimed “Master of Disguise,” Benny “The Banana” Bananapants, who was apprehended while attempting to escape on a unicycle dressed as a giant banana.
According to police reports, the jailbreak plot was hatched over a game of poker in the prison yard, where inmates allegedly wagered their freedom against a lifetime supply of beignets. “I thought we were just playing for fun,” said inmate and alleged ringleader, “Crazy Carl” McGee. “But then Benny showed up with a banana suit and a unicycle, and things got out of hand faster than a Mardi Gras parade!”
Authorities say the conspiracy involved a series of elaborate plans, including a makeshift catapult and a diversion involving a marching band. “We were just trying to create a distraction,” explained another suspect, “Sassy Sally” O’Reilly. “Who wouldn’t want to see a bunch of inmates breakdance while wearing prison jumpsuits?”
Benny “The Banana” Bananapants defended his actions, claiming he was merely trying to “bring a little potassium to the party.” When asked about his escape plan, he replied, “I thought I could just roll away like a fruit salad. Turns out, unicycles are harder than they look!”
As the investigation continues, local residents are left wondering if they should be more concerned about the jailbreak or the fact that a man in a banana suit is now a fugitive. “Honestly, I’m just glad it wasn’t a watermelon,” said one bewildered bystander. “Those things are heavy!”
In the meantime, the New Orleans Police Department has issued a warning: “If you see a giant banana on a unicycle, do not approach. It’s probably just Benny trying to escape again.”
