25-year-old Payton Allen was caught stealing a Taurus G3C 9mm handgun from Damion Jackson on July 7th. When Jackson made contact with law enforcement, he stated that Allen was at his residence helping with the work he was doing on his car. Jackson said that he briefly left to go get food. Jackson explained that while he was gone, Allen sent him a text stating that he had to leave for a family emergency.
Once Jackson returned, he discovered the bag containing his handgun, which he had left outside, was missing. Jackson later located the bag inside his car but found that his firearm was missing. Footage from Jackson’s Ring camera displayed Allen walking over to where the bag was and moving it out of the camera’s view. Officers viewed the footage and determined that Allen stole Jackson’s firearm. Allen was then taken into custody and charged with theft of a firearm on August 22nd.
Payton R. Allen of White Bridge Pike in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 22nd, charged with theft of firearm. He is free on a $5,000 bond.
