RAWLINS, WYOMING - Authorities say a former Rawlins police captain wanted on criminal charges has been located in Afghanistan.

Lee Meacham, who is also a former Carbon County commissioner, went missing after county prosecutors filed multiple felony and misdemeanor charges against him.

County Sheriff Jerry Olson said Thursday that Meacham was found working for a Dubai-based contractor in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Olson said he also has received a letter from Meacham's attorney, Michael Krampner of Casper, who wrote that Meacham is preparing to return to Carbon County next week.

In 2007, former Rawlins resident Stephanie Faber sued Meacham and the city, saying Meacham sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager.

She received a $250,000 cash settlement.
