A former worker at the Columbia Correctional Institute has pleaded not guilty to three felony charges connected to an April escape.
46-year-old Holly Zimdahl was a civilian worker in the prison kitchen when she allegedly helped James Newman and Thomas Deering escape.
Zimdahl has told investigators she only cooperated with the two inmates because she and her daughter were threatened.
Investigators found two cell phones, $1,400 in cash and a handwritten note about where to buy electric fence cutters when they searched her car.
