Henderson Co. Man Caught After Escaping Rehab Program

A Henderson County man sentenced last month to a year in drug rehab will now spend nine years in prison after investigators said he escaped from the rehab facility after just 15 days. Justin “Blake” Beecham was arrested Monday evening after deputies said they went to his house in Lexington only to have him run out the back door and make an elaborate get away, which they believed he had planned out. Beecham originally pleaded guilty to multiple felony theft charges. He remains jailed without bond.
