Barrett-Lesko first made headlines when he was caught on camera allegedly having sexual intercourse with a horse at the La Plata County fairgrounds in the middle of the night on June 17.
The animal cruelty charges were dropped as part of a plea deal, and he had been locked up on trespassing charges in connection to several burglaries when he was discovered missing from the recreation yard Tuesday afternoon, according to KRQE.
According to police, Barrett-Lesko had been in the rec yard alone at the time of his escape. He was able to get over the wall, police told the Durango Herald.
“There’s a video of him going up the wall, and then using his feet on one side and back on the other side,” Sheriff’s Lt. Pat Downs Downs told the paper. “… It appears he got out of some small hole in the upper fenced-in area of the old rec yard.”
Barrett-Lesko is expected to be charged with felony escape.
