The McCracken County Sheriff’s Office arrested four people Wednesday
afternoon on various charges following the apprehension of a fugitive.
The investigation began after detectives received information that a
fugitive from Bowling Green, KY was in Paducah. McCracken County
Sheriff detectives received information that 47-year-old Roger Burpo,
who was wanted on a federal probation violation warrant and other
McCracken County warrants, was in the Paducah area. Burpo had
allegedly fled from the Paducah Police Department during a traffic
stop earlier in the week. Detectives determined that Burpo was staying
at a residence on Little Avenue in Paducah.
On 01/18/2023 detectives were conducting surveillance on the
residence when they observed Burpo leave the residence. Burpo was
stopped and arrested without incident on Brown Street in Paducah.
Burpo was found in possession of Methamphetamine and money believed to
be proceeds from illegal sales.
During the investigation, detectives learned that Burpo had been shot
multiple times in his legs on 01/09/2023. The investigation revealed
that Burpo was transported to an area hospital by a friend where he
received treatment under an alias because he had a warrant for his
arrest. Burpo alleged that Brandon Spann had shot him during an
altercation that took place at the residence on Little Avenue. The
shooting was not reported to law enforcement.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for the residence where the
shooting had taken place at 1428 Little Avenue. Two people were
located inside the residence, Crystal Brown and Chad Williams. During
a search of the residence, detectives located a loaded handgun,
Methamphetamine, and assorted items of drug paraphernalia throughout
the residence. Detectives also located a shell casing in the yard
where the shooting was alleged to have taken place.
Based on the evidence obtained, detectives obtained an arrest warrant
for Brandon Spann for 1st degree Assault for allegedly shooting Burpo.
Detectives located Brandon Spann later in the evening during a
traffic stop on Irvin Cobb Drive in Paducah. Spann was arrested
without incident.
During the arrest detectives located a loaded handgun and Marijuana
inside the vehicle that Spann was driving. Spann is convicted felon
and unable to lawfully possess firearms.
All four individuals were lodged in the McCracken County Region Jail.
The investigation is continuing.
