The Natrona County Sheriff’s Office is looking for Francis Behan, a Casper Reentry Center inmate who failed to return as scheduled from work-release on Aug. 17.

Behan was serving the remainder of his five-to-eight year sentence at CRC on a probation revocation with an original charge of aggravated assault and battery/attempt to injure with a weapon out of Fremont County, the NCSO said.

Behan is described as a 23-year-old Native American male, approximately six-foot-two and 290 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. He has “Hustle” and “Arapahoe Warrior” tattooed on his left arm.
