ACSO: Sano Road burglary suspect arrested

On Monday, March 2, 2026, Adair County Sheriff Gary Roy received a burglary report with property stolen at 2548 Sano Road. A preliminary investigation of security camera footage by Sheriff Roy and Deputy Derek Padgett identified the suspect as Benjamin L Harmon, 38, of Columbia, Kentucky.

During the investigation, Deputy Derek Padgett determined Benjamin Harmon had made approximately three separate trips to 2548 Sano Road, entered a building, and removed property. Subsequently, Deputy Padgett used this information to obtain an Adair County Warrant of Arrest for Benjamin L Harmon for the following charges:


  • 3 counts Burglary, 3rd Degree
  • 3 counts Criminal Trespassing, 3rd Degree
  • Theft by Unlawful Taking $1,000<$10,000
The Adair County Sheriff's Office had multiple deputies patrolling in the Sano Community of Adair County throughout the day in an effort to locate Harmon. At approximately 10:18pmCT, deputies observed Harmon traveling in a silver GMC Canyon on Christine Road. Deputies then initiated a traffic stop and made contact with Harmon. During the traffic stop, Harmon refused to follow commands and exit his vehicle. Due to the refusal to cooperate, Harmon had to be forcibly removed from his vehicle in order to be taken into custody. Deputy Josh Durbin executed two warrants of arrest along with the following additional charges:
  • Resisting Arrest
  • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
  • Possession of Control Substance 1st Degree, 1st Offense (Methamphetamine)
Deputy Josh Durbin was assisted on scene by Deputy Brandon Hitch and CPD Officer Trevor Foster.

"This arrest is a direct result of the relentless efforts by our Deputies to investigate and solve burglaries and thefts in our community," said Sheriff Roy.
