06-23-2026  UPDATED PRESS RELEASE  
  
On 06-23-26 at about 12:35pm, two Curry County Deputies assisted by one Oregon State Trooper and six U.S. Marshals, located a wanted fugitive camping in heavy wooded area near Lucas Lodge in Agness, Oregon.  Kenneth Leatherwood had fled from Curry County law enforcement on 06-16-26 after it was learned that he and the stolen vehicle he was operating was in the Agness area.  Leatherwood was wanted out of Texas on a felony warrant for child sex crimes. After a long week of searching, Leatherwood was located and taken into custody without incident.  Leatherwood’s dog was found in good shape and will be returned to Leatherwood’s family.    
  
The Curry County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all the law enforcement agencies that took part in the search and capture of Leatherwood.  Those agencies include the Oregon State Police, their SWAT team and the U.S. Marshals. We would also like to express our thanks to the Agness community and beyond for their diligence, cooperation and patience. Featured News by Curry County Sheriff
