NBC NEWS — An alleged rapist was not hiding out in Acadiana, but was found in New Jersey.

Police arrested him after they found him sleeping in a van in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

Bret Lee Luckett Thompson used to live in the Carencro area, and FBI agents warned he may have gone back after allegedly kidnapping and raping an 8 year old girl in Denver.

Thompson, who had been on the run almost two weeks, will be taken back to Colorado.
