A northeast Kansas man charged with child rape has been arrested in Florida after a month-long search.
William Lee Vogel, 51, was taken into custody Tuesday by police in Fort Lauderdale and was being held pending extradition in the Broward County Jail.
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.
At least one person reported seeing Vogel at a truck stop in St Joseph, but that report was never confirmed. Sabetha police brought in the U.S. Marshal’s Service in late August to help find Vogel.
