Yorkville Man Gets Prison for Stealing Car, Cocaine Possession

YORKVILLE, IL — A 37-year-old Yorkville man was sentenced to 8-and-a-half years in prison for possession of a stolen motor vehicle and two years for unlawful possession of a controlled substance stemming from incidents that occurred on Nov. 3, 2015 in Oswego and Yorkville.

Both sentences will be served concurrently.

Charges were filed against Nicholas Allgood back on Nov. 3, 2015, when, in the early morning hours, Yorkville Police were dispatched to a suspicious vehicle, according to Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis. Upon making contact with Allgood, who was the driver of the vehicle, the officer saw that Allgood was using cocaine, Weis said. Officers were able to collect additional cocaine from Allgood, who was then taken to a local area hospital.

After being released from the hospital later that evening, Allgood went to the Circle K gas station in Oswego. While there, Allgood spotted a vehicle running in the parking lot after the driver had gone inside of the business. Allgood then got in and drove off. During an investigation by the Oswego Police Department, the car was found abandoned in Sugar Grove. Allgood was later located by police and interviewed, at which time he admitted to officers to stealing the vehicle when he could not locate a ride.

Allgood previously entered a plea of guilty to the offenses of possession of stolen motor vehicle and unlawful possession of controlled substance back on July 12. He has been in custody since his arrest on the charges of possession of stolen motor vehicle. Weis said that Allgood has a criminal history which includes prior possession of stolen motor vehicle cases making this offense a class x felony for possession of stolen motor vehicle.

“This type of sentence is necessary due to this defendant’s repeated violations of the criminal statutes. With Allgood’s history of stealing cars, the judge was left with no other alternative but to sentenced Allgood to a term of prison that will prevent him from further criminal activities for some time,” Weis said.
