ALLEN, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Floyd County man was arrested Tuesday after deputies say they caught him inside a home during a burglary in progress in Allen.

According to the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy responded to Railroad Street after receiving a report of a burglary at a residence. When the deputy arrived, neighbors reportedly told him the suspect was still inside the home.

The deputy entered the residence and found Hiram Carroll, 34, of Printer, inside the house and took him into custody.

The homeowner later showed deputies extensive damage throughout the residence. The damage reportedly included removed plumbing, damaged door facings and wood removed from closets and stacked against walls inside the home. Authorities estimated the damage at several thousand dollars.

According to the arrest citation, Carroll told deputies he believed the home had been purchased by Job Corps and was going to be demolished. He allegedly said he was gathering materials to use in repairs at his mother’s home.

Carroll was charged with second-degree burglary and first-degree criminal mischief. He is being held in the Floyd County Detention Center on a $25,000 cash bond.
