Benton is buzzing over reported sightings of Dan Harmon earlier this week. The former Saline County prosecutor has been in federal prison since his 1997 conviction on public corruption charges for operating a racketeering enterprise out of his office. The following year, he was found guilty of four drug charges.
As of 2003, Harmon was in a Springfield, Mo., federal prison. He originally was to be eligible for supervised release or probation in June 2007 but received a 16-month sentence reduction, making him eligible for release in early 2006. The reduction was a reward for testifying against a fellow inmate who planned to have a federal agent murdered.
Harmon, wearing slacks and a shirt, visited the Saline County courthouse earlier this week.
“My understanding is that he was here looking for a job,” confirms Saline County Judge Lanny Fite.
An inmate search of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons’ Web site lists Daniel Howard Harmon, white male, 60, in a halfway house with a projected release of April 14, 2006.
Bureau of Prisons officials confirm Harmon arrived at a halfway house in the Eastern District of Arkansas on Oct. 14 and will work during the day during a six-month transitional phase. Why is he back here? Upon release, inmates are required to return to the district from which they were sentenced.
