Police believe he stole a vehicle from Lyon County High School parking lot. The pickup truck was owned by Wesley Belt, son of Danny and Carolyn Belt of Marion. Belt told authorities that he had a handgun in the truck. Belt is a school teacher at Lyon County, but was not working at the time. He had stopped momentarily at the school office to drop off some paperwork.
In the brief period that he was inside, Allgood made off with his truck. Allgood was helping a custodian change light bulbs and asked to go to the restroom. That's when he went out the front door and took Belt's truck.
The truck was later found near the Crittenden and Lyon County line, but the 9mm semi-automatic handgun was missing. The vehicle's Onstar program allowed authorities to find it in a soybean field.
Crittenden County deputies assisted with a road check in southern Crittenden County Thursday night and are planning this morning to search the area with dogs where the truck was abandoned.
