According to the indictment, Lilley escaped from federal custody at Renewal Incorporated Community Correction Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on March 28, 2017.

The law provides for a maximum total sentence of 5 years in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
