§ 144.380 Violator as fugitive from justice

Here's a plain-English summary of this rule:

If someone's parole, post-prison supervision, or probation gets suspended or revoked, the law treats that person as a fugitive from justice. This means once the state pulls back that supervision status, the person is officially considered "on the run" in the eyes of the law, even if they aren't actively hiding.

This fugitive status stays in place until the person is brought back into custody. It doesn't matter how or why they aren't in custody. As long as they remain outside the system after their release status was suspended or revoked, they're legally labeled a fugitive.

This label matters because it can affect things like how long certain deadlines are paused, whether time counts toward a sentence, and how law enforcement can pursue and arrest the person. Being classified as a fugitive can also affect legal proceedings related to the case until the person is back in custody.
