Man who grabbed boy from airport toy store sentenced

The knife-wielding man who grabbed a 3-year-old boy before running through a security checkpoint at McCarran International Airport last year was sentenced Wednesday on three counts.

Michael Allgood pleaded guilty to battery with use of a deadly weapon and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Allgood was to serve his sentences for the three crimes consecutively -- or in total a minimum of 5 years and 5 months and a maximum of 18 years. Of that time, 423 days were taken off the sentence for time already served.

As part of the plea agreement, charges of first-degree kidnapping with a deadly weapon and child abuse and neglect were dropped.

Allgood, of Wilsonville, Ore., snatched a child from the Kid's Wear and Toys store June 27 across from the security checkpoint for the A and B gates.

While still carrying the child, Allgood was confronted by three police officers. Allgood held a 4-inch serrated blade to the boy's throat. When Allgood took the knife from the child's throat and lunged at police, two officers shot him and a third officer used a Taser on him.
