RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Authorities are looking for a state prison inmate who left his community service job site in Rapid City without authorization.

The Department of Corrections says it’s believed that 20-year-old Brendan Lebar left Monday with someone driving a 1990s black sedan. He’s described as white, 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds.

Lebar is serving a five-year sentence for forgery, two years for eluding a police officer and a seven-year sentence with two years suspended for burglary. All the sentences are from Pennington County, and Lebar is serving them concurrently.



Failing to return to custody from a job assignment or temporary leave constitutes felony second-degree escape and is punishable by up to five years in prison. Knowingly concealing an escaped prisoner is also a felony.
