JACKSON COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a suspect following a Monday night manhunt south in rural northeast Kansas.
Just before 9p.m. Monday, The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office was notified by neighbors of a burglary in progress at 2830 102nd Road south of Delia, according to Sheriff Tim Morse.
Deputies and KHP troopers arrived where the alleged burglar fled into the woods. The Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter also responded and assisted with the search.
During the search, the suspect managed to return to his pickup truck that was parked on the property and nearly struck a Jackson County Deputy and a Kansas State Trooper.
The man sped across a cornfield and ran into a heavily wooded area northwest of the residence. Deputies and troopers used K-9s during the search. The search continued until approximately 4 A.M. Tuesday, which was reduced to deputies patrolling the immediate area. The Sheriff’s Office issued an alert, warning the public to be alert that this suspect may be in the area on foot, and to lock doors and remove keys from vehicles.
At approximately 9:45 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a report of a subject approaching a residence near the Shawnee and Jackson County line, Jackson County deputies and detectives located the suspect later identified as 41-year-old Dallas Eugene Harrmon about 1 mile south of the Jackson County line on Capper Road.
Deputies arrested and transported Harrmon to the Jackson County Jail. He is being held on requested charges of aggravated assault of law enforcement officers, burglary and theft and fleeing and eluding law enforcement. Harmon was also wanted on a full-extradition warrant of the State of Colorado.
