When police contacted Brent's mother, they were told she had dropped her son off across the street from the correctional facility around 8:10 a.m. March 18 and saw him walking toward the jail. The correctional facility officials told police that Brent failed to show up for work at Brentwood Industries for his shift.

Brent was returned to the Lebanon County Correction Facility around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday by the Lebanon City Police Department, according to state police representatives. Police have not stated how he was apprehended as of Thursday afternoon.

Brent also pled guilty to escape after he fled from a probation officer in October 2020. He is scheduled to have a hearing before Magisterial Judge Anthony J. Verna at 8 a.m. March 30.
