Two more arrest warrants have been issued following the investigation into the June 19 break-in at Buck Racing Engines and theft of approximately $445,000 worth of engines from the North Carolina shop. Two other persons—Ronnie Dale Pollard Jr. and Christopher P. Goodman—are already in custody in connection with the case.

King Police say they are now looking for Joshua Wayne Montgomery, age 20, and Jerry Clyde Stephenson Jr., age 46. Both are residents of Oklahoma, as were Pollard and Goodman. Pollard was arrested August 20 by the Tulsa County Sheriff’s office, and Goodman turned himself in to the Stokes County, North Carolina, Sheriff’s office on August 24.

EngineLabs contacted the King Police Department, and detective B. Haynes said the investigation is continuing and that additional parties are possibly involved.

Montgomery and Stephenson are both charged with felony breaking and entering, conspiracy to break and enter a building and commit larceny, aid and abet felony larceny, felony damage to a computer system, felony possession of stolen property, and injury to real property, larceny after breaking and entering.

Unlike the charges against Pollard, age 47, and Goodman, age 32, these new charges also include felony possession of stolen property. However, none of the missing engines or racing parts have been recovered, according to recent posts on the Buck Racing Engines Facebook page.

The case has drawn considerable attention in the racing community because of a possible connection to the theft of racing parts at Eagle Racing Engines the day before the break-in at Buck Racing Engines. Also, Pollard once appeared on the Discovery Channel reality show “Street Outlaws,” which elevated his profile in the racing community and helped authorities identify him from surveillance video at Buck Racing Engines.

“King Police Department would like to send a special thanks to the drag racing community,” said today’s news release from the King PD, also noting the assistance from other law enforcement in Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Carolina in the case.

EngineLabs will provide more information as the case develops.
