RAWLINS, WYOMING - A former Rawlins Police Department captain is scheduled to return to Carbon County on Friday to face criminal charges.

The Carbon County Attorney's office filed multiple felony and misdemeanor counts against Adam "Lee" Meacham on Oct. 28. However, Meacham couldn't be found and a warrant for his arrest was issued.

On Nov. 5, Meacham was found working as a civilian contractor in Kabul, Afghanistan. The nature of the charges against Meacham have not been made public.

A former Rawlins resident filed a civil lawsuit against Meacham and the city of Rawlins in 2007. The lawsuit alleged that Meacham had sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager. The lawsuit was settled for $250,000. Meacham also is a former Carbon County commissioner.
