The Coast Guard was on the scene through the evening using helicopters and sonar equipment to locate the man.
The Coast Guard, the Mentor Police Department and the Mentor Fire Department all searched for Allan Saturday evening. The search was called off when it got dark Saturday night and picked back up Sunday morning. The Coast Guard said it brought in a helicopter and a boat on Sunday to help with the search.
