On May 31st Ozark-Dale County E911 received a call from a resident in

Level Plains who described witnessing sexual contact involving Colt

Bryan Lecuyer and a young child (under the age of 10) in the back of

Lecuyer's vehicle. Prior to the arrival of Level Plains Police the

suspect, who is a registered sex offender and federal supervised release

inmate, fled the seen in his vehicle.

 

DCSO Investigators began gathering information on the scene and a BOLO

was issued for Lecuyer. Shortly after 10pm an Auburn Police Officer

spotted the suspect's vehicle abandoned in the parking lot of the

Wal-Mart on South College St in Auburn. DCSO Investigators responded to

Auburn and with assistance of Auburn Detectives and Lee County Deputies

the suspect's vehicle was processed and returned back to Dale County. A

search was conducted for the suspect but he was not located at that time.

 

On June 2, DCSO Investigators learned that the suspect was on foot near

the Lee and Macon County line in the Tuskegee National Forest. Macon

County Sheriff's Office along with ALEA's Aviation Unit, SBI Agents and

the Alabama Department of Corrections K9 Tracking team from Kilby and

Ventress CF all responded to the area. Department of Corrections K9

tracking teams tracked the suspect for over four miles before taking him

into custody in a wooded area off County Road 57 in Macon County.

 

Dale County Deputies are responding to Macon County to take custody of

Lecuyer. He will be booked into the Dale County Jail and charged with

Rape 1st and Sodomy 1st.

 

"I would like to thank Sheriff Andre Brunson and the members of the

Macon County Sheriff's Office, DOC K9 Teams and ALEA for their

relentless effort in capturing Lecuyer.  Also the Auburn Police

Department and Lee County Sheriff's Office for their assistance during

this investigation."

 

"Individuals like Lecuyer, who wish to prey on young children have no

place in our society. He is a convicted sex offender so this wasn't his

1st time victimizing a young child but I pray that it's his last.  I

applaud the efforts of those in law enforcement who made it their

mission this weekend to put him back behind bars where he belongs!"
