She’s a real “troublemaker.”
The pris🍎on worker suspected of helping two killers escape was caught in the act having sex with a colleague at her old job — breaking up bܫoth their marriages, it was revealed Wednesday.
Joyce “Tillie” Mitchell, 51, engaged in the affair while working at an upstate slipper factory — and her ex-hubby❀ who was rocked by the tryst said Wednesday hꦐe wouldn’t be surprised if she also had slept with an inmate.
“Sure she cheated on me, so I could see her♊ falling for so🍃meone in prison,”
The affair that broke up Premo’s relationship w🅘ith the lusty Mitchell was the su𓆏bject of wild workplace gossip, as it happened outdoors near the factory in upstate Bombay.
“There were reports of people having sex on the railroad tracks outside the factory,” a former co-worker told th﷽e Mail, adding that Mitchell “was the onꦗe who was gossiping the most about it.”
When workers “fin🤪ally caught the couple in the act — it was Lyle and Tillie,” the source added, referring to Mitchell’s curr𓂃ent husband, Lyle Mitchell.
Premo’s oth👍er former wife told The Post that Joyce’s dalliance with Lyle caused a melee in a workplace restroom between the two men.
“She was cheating on him with Lyle,” said Hele✤n Premo. “They all worked together — Tobey found out. When I met him [Tobey], he had been on probation [for] beating [Lyle] up in the bathroom.”
Anotꦚ꧙her former co-worker, Nancy Hewitt, said Joyce was “always a troublemaker.”
“She was quiet up to a point, but she would always be the one wh🅠o w🅷ould be trying to get people into trouble,” Hewitt told the Mail.
“I know for a fact that a friend of mine 💙who works at the prison told the authorities there not to hire her because she’d cause trouble — but they did, and now look what happened.”
Law enforcement sources have said convicted killer Richard Matt wooed Joyce behind bars💦 while she supe🦄rvised the sewing shop at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.
She allegedly was supposed to meet Matt and fellow ki🌱ller con David Sweat in a ca𒈔r when they broke out of the maximum-security slammer, but she suffered a panic attack and bailed.
An ex-prison colꩵleague of Joyce told The Post people “knew this was going to happen” because she got too close to the inmates.
“She would give too much information. She wa🌞s naive in the way she would answer the inmates,” the colleague said.
Meanwhile, at the end of the fifth day of the manhunt for the escapees, police blocked a major highway near the prison at about midnight to investigate a lead.
Reꦿsidents nea🐷r Route 374 and Trudeau Road in Cadyville were told to stay indoors as police swarmed the area.
