ELLSWORTH COUNTY — A man being sought for more than a year was apprehended in Utah and has been returned to Kansas to face charges accusing him of abusing a child.

Allen Eugene Lemley, 54, was camping in a Utah Canyon in an RV when deputies found him, according to the Cache County Sheriff’s Department.

He was booked into the Ellsworth County Jail on Friday to face a 17-month-old charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Ellsworth County Sheriff Tracy Ploutz said a warrant was filed for Lemley’s arrest in Ellsworth County in May 2015.

He is expected to make a first court appearance this week.
