Angela Sutton is wanted on a second-degree burglary charge. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call in.
According to the Hopkinsville Police Department, information about Sutton can be shared with the Hopkinsville-Christian County Emergency Communications Center by calling 270-890-1300, according to Christian County Now.
What Second-Degree Burglary Means Under Kentucky Law
Second-degree burglary in Kentucky involves knowingly entering or remaining unlawfully inside a residential dwelling with intent to commit a crime, according to the Baldani Law Group. The charge is classified as a Class C felony, carrying a potential sentence of five to 10 years in prison. Attorneys at Suhre & Associates note that the distinction between second- and third-degree burglary in Kentucky hinges on whether the entry occurred inside a residential dwelling rather than a commercial or non-residential structure. It remains unclear which specific property was involved in the burglary that led to Sutton's current warrant.
A 2023 report from NewsRadio 1230 AM WHOP described a Fugitive of the Week announcement by the Hopkinsville Police Department. The report does not specify Crime Stoppers' eligibility rules for cash payouts.
A Long History of Local Law Enforcement Contact
Sutton is not new to Christian County court records. State offender records show she was previously convicted of third-degree burglary, a Class D felony, for an offense committed in Christian Circuit Court in September 2015. That earlier case marks a prior pattern of property-crime involvement in the same jurisdiction where she is now wanted.
More recently, Sutton has had repeated run-ins with area law enforcement tied to drug offenses. In April 2024, she was arrested in Hopkinsville and charged with possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, the station's report noted. A December 2024 arrest and the circumstances described are not substantiated by the available sources.
Years of Warrants and Missed Court Dates
Sutton's history of legal trouble in the region stretches back further still. In December 2021, Christian County Sheriff's deputies arrested her during a drug trafficking investigation in Hopkinsville, taking her into custody on three outstanding probation violation warrants and two failure-to-appear warrants. And in January 2019, Cadiz Police arrested Sutton for driving under the influence on a suspended license.
Whether Sutton remains in the immediate Hopkinsville or Christian County area is unknown. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Emergency Communications Center.
