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.
Comparing his photo in the wanted poster, it is obvious Lemley was coloring his hair to hide his identity.
He is expected to make a first court appearance this week.
