On August 31st, 2023, the Fleming County Sheriffs Office provided assistance to the Kentucky State Police on a theft investigation into stolen property from Falmouth Ky. Sheriff Smith, Deputy McIntyre and Deputy Burns assisted KSP Trooper Tyler Smith with conducting a search warrant at the residence of Dan Haines of 770 Hall Rd of Flemingsburg. KSP and the Sheriffs Office located nearly $100,000 worth of stolen property, a stolen firearm as well as drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Patrick Evans, Joshua Mason, Kayla Blevins and Christina Porter were all charged with receiving stolen property.
During the investigation, Sheriff Smith was able to identify copper wiring that had recently been stolen straight from the pole from numerous spots across the Eastern part of Fleming County. Over the last two weeks, on multiple occasions, Windstream has reported the theft of wire from their poles on Stockton Rd and Watson Rd. Several hundred feet of wiring had been cut, with a lot of cable and phone service being disrupted. Sheriff Smith was able to locate the stolen wire at the residence on Hall Rd.
All parties are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
