MILLERSBURG, Ky. (FOX 56) — Millersburg police and deputies with the Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) arrested a Millersburg man on Thursday night after he allegedly stole medical supplies from a Family Dollar.

The Millersburg Police Department posted on Facebook that just before 7 p.m. on Thursday, local law enforcement responded along with the Bourbon County Fire Department to the Animal Hospital of Millersburg following reports of an unknown problem in the area.

The department said that a caller told officers that Calven Gallimore, 26, of Millersburg, allegedly entered the animal hospital with a bleeding hand and told the staff he needed a bandage before quickly leaving.

The MPD wrote that Gallimore allegedly drove through two portions of chain link fencing in the yard of a nearby residence before parking at a Family Dollar across the street.

When workers at the Family Dollar saw Gallimore pull into the parking lot, they reportedly locked the door, Millersburg officers said.

“Gallimore forced entry into the business, which caused damage to the door,” the MPD wrote. “Gallimore then retrieved medical items from within the store and opened the packages.”

Law enforcement officers met Gallimore in the Family Dollar parking lot. He allegedly showed several signs of being intoxicated and told officers he had combined alcohol with prescription medication.

An initial breath test allegedly revealed that Gallimore’s blood alcohol level was 0.168, over twice the legal limit.
