Debra Ryan, the girlfriend of AWOL convicted Bayou Group co-founder Samuel Israel III, was arrested yesterday and charged with aiding and abetting his failure to turn himself in. The charge carries a maximum 10 year sentence. She was released on bond after an appearance before US Magistrate Judge Lisa Margaret Smith in White Plains, New York. Karen Freifeld’s Bloomberg story describes her apparently admitted role in helping Israel, who may have escaped on a motor scooter. Until yesterday she had repeatedly denied any knowledge of what happened (earlier here and here).
