GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) — A Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy found an inmate who walked away from the jail Friday, and convinced him to turn himself in on Saturday.

The deputy located Richard Trivethick at Ken Caryl and Platte Canyon Saturday afternoon. He now has an additional charge of escape with his other charges.

The sheriff’s office tweeted about him walking out of the Jefferson County jail around 1:40 p.m. Friday. The 37-year-old was last seen boarding a light rail at 12:25 p.m. on Friday.

The sheriff’s office said Trivethick was in custody for failure to appear, driving under revocation and theft. The county sent out a Lookout Alert to the area directly surrounding the jail.
