Pittsburg County Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the location of Indianola resident Gary Arrington.
Arrington, 40, had last been accounted for during the early morning hours of Nov. 14 when he was seen leaving RCB’s club on Texanna Road near Eufaula, according to the Pittsburg County Sheriff’s Department.
When he left the club, he had been driving his 2001 blue Ford Ranger, a pick-up with an extended cab. The Oklahoma license plate on the truck is 462KKF, according to Crimestoppers.
Those phone calling Pittsburg County Crimestoppers with information can remain anonymous, according to a spokesman for the group.
Anyone with any information can phone 800-222-TIPS. Crimestoppers will pass along any information to the Pittsburg County Sheriff’s Department, the spokesman said.
During the investigation, which started as the result of a missing person report filed in Pittsburg County, Pittsburg County Sheriff Joel Kerns and Deputy Doy Sennett viewed video surveillance from RCB’s in McIntosh County.
Deputy Sgt. Richard Bedford said they were able to determine that Arrington left the club alone and that he did not appear intoxicated when he left.
However, investigators were unable to tell which direction Arrington had been headed when he left the club.
Bedford said the missing man’s father told him that Gary Arrington was familiar with the back roads around Porum and knew how to get back to Indianola by a different route.
“We don’t know if he came back to our county or went through two other counties,” Bedford said.
Arrington’s Ford Ranger has a Red River auto dealer license plate on the front and a decal of a deer head with antlers on the back window.
He is described as six feet and one-inch tall, with short, dark, brown/blackish hair and brown eyes, and weighing 160 pounds.
An investigation remains under way at the sheriff’s department. In addition to the Crimestoppers number, anyone with any information can also contact the Pittsburg County Sheriff’s Department at 423-5858.
