38-year-old Kyle VanVliet was arrested on June 26 on a felony warrant for aiding escape, after his brother, 45-year-old Kegan VanVliet, escaped from the Fremont County Jail.

Kegan VanVliet was captured in Colorado Springs later on the same day as the escape, thanks in part to infrared technology utilized by the Colorado State Patrol as well as assistance from a K9 Officer with the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).
