Queensland man escapes hotel quarantine in Perth using bed sheets tied from fourth-floor window.

Police have charged a 39-year-old Queensland man after he allegedly fled hotel quarantine in Perth by escaping through a window.

Police allege Travis Jay Myles made a makeshift rope by tying together bed sheets, and then exited via the window.

Mr Myles arrived in WA on a flight from Brisbane on Monday afternoon without completing a G2G pass.

He completed an application upon arrival at Perth airport, but it was refused because he did not meet the entry requirements.

He was taken to a hotel in Rivervale to stay overnight ahead of a scheduled flight back to Queensland.

However, police say Mr Myles managed to escape from his hotel room at about 12:45am today.

Officers found him on Beaufort Street in Mt Lawley eight hours later.

Mr Myles — who has since returned a negative test result for COVID-19 — was charged with failing to comply with a direction and providing false or misleading information.

He appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court via an audio-link on Tuesday afternoon. 

He did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody until early August when his 14-day quarantine period will have ended, allowing him to appear in court in person.
