An escaped sex offender is back in custody. Shane Lieb is currently being held at the Des Moines County Jail for parole violation and first-degree burglary following his arrest late last week.

According to Andrea Wright, executive officer with the Department of Corrections, Lieb was being transported by his mother to the Burlington Work Release Facility on December 13th when he left the vehicle during a traffic stop.

He had just been discharged from the Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility, and was preparing to serve his lifetime supervision, a special sentence he received when sentenced for third degree sexual abuse in 2009.
