Paducah Man Charged with Burglarizing Businesses

A Paducah man was arrested Saturday after police say he broke into several area businesses.

The Ballard County Sheriff's Office says deputies responded Saturday morning to a call from the owner of a local business saying the Bike Boss had been burglarized. Deputies responded and found the window to the office door had been broken out, and someone had entered the building.

While on scene deputies found that the Burger Bar, which is next door to the Bike Boss, had also been burglarized.

Deputies used surveillance video to identify the suspect as 23-year-old Dakota Miller of Paducah. Later in the day a deputy saw Miller in the front seat of a vehicle traveling on Gage Road in Kevil and stopped the vehicle.

Deputies arrested Miller on a Kentucky Probation and Parole Board Warrant. He was also charged with three counts of third degree burglary. He reportedly confessed to the burglaries and told deputies where stolen items from the Bike Boss, Burger Bar, and GEO Consulting were located.

Deputies said GEO Consulting was unaware of the burglary to their business until deputies contacted them.

Miller is a suspect in other burglaries in the area, and investigators say more charges may be filed against him.
