MISSING PERSON:
On 4/21/26, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office took a report of a missing person, Kenneth Johnson, 59 of Canton. According to family, Kenneth had plans of mushrooming in the Lewistown area and was last heard from on 4/20/26 at approximately 5:00pm but did not return home. Once the report was made, Deputies attempted to ping the last known location of Kenneth’s phone which showed an area west of Canton. Additional searches showed the phone in the Smithfield area but deputies were unable to locate Kenneth or the vehicle. At 9:50pm, a citizen called in to report an abandoned vehicle on Vernon Road near Webb Road in rural Lewistown. Deputies responded and located the vehicle belonging to Kenneth Johnson. A ground search was conducted throughout the night with negative results. Although no foul play is suspected at this time, the vehicle was impounded to a secure facility. The Sheriff’s Office is continuing ground and air searching efforts at this time with all available deputies and additional agencies.
