The Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office is offering a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of any person or persons responsible for the fire at Pearson’s Towing located at 1269 Highway 54 that occurred on March 21, 2018.
The Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office had 13 seized vehicles located on that property at the time of the fire. Once a vehicle is seized by the department during a drug related crime it then goes through the proper court proceedings and is awarded to the sheriff’s office by the Court. At that time the vehicle is auctioned off and the proceeds from the auction are used for the funding of the Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office K9 unit.
Anyone with any information about the March 21 fire can call the Kansas Crime-stoppers Hotline at
