A: Aggravated escape is a class C felony in Kansas. However, walking away from a legal job in the free world is not aggravated escape. Aggravated escape is defined as escaping from custody while held on a charge, conviction of, or arrest for a felony, or while being held as a sexually violent predator. Walking away from a job is simply quitting, which is not a crime. Even if the employee was under contract, quitting is not considered a breach of contract in Kansas.
