A former Wyoming hospital CEO who disappeared last August while facing charges of defrauding his employers in both Wyoming and Indiana has been arrested in Thailand.

Paul Cardwell was arrested early Friday, and FBI spokesman Dave Joly says it could take up to a month to return Cardwell to the United States.

Cardwell is accused of stealing about $848,000 from Powell Valley Healthcare in Wyoming in 2011 and about $846,000 from White County Memorial Hospital in Indiana between 2003 and 2009.

Cardwell had been CEO of both, and he’s accused of conspiring with Michael Plake of Indiana to fake recruiting firm run by Plake and split the money spent by the hospitals on the phony firm.

Plake pled guilty received a 30-month prison sentence in May. Cardwell was reportedly ready to accept a plea bargain when he fled Wyoming last summer.
