SABETHA, Kan. (AP) — A northeast Kansas man charged with child rape has been arrested in Florida after a month-long search.

KMZA-FM reports 51-year-old William Lee Vogel was taken into custody Tuesday by police in Fort Lauderdale. He was being held in the Broward County Jail pending extradition to Kansas.

Vogel, of Sabetha is charged in Nemaha County with engaging in sex with a child younger than 14. His Kansas bond has been set at $1 million.

Vogel has been sought since he was charged Aug. 11. Sabetha police brought in the U.S. Marshal’s Service in late August to help find him.
