Second update: Faulkner County Sheriff's Office Sgt. David Hall said the office's Criminal Investigations Division questioned Guy-Perkins Superintendent David Westenhover in connection with an investigation.
Sheriff's Maj. Andy Shock said the investigation is related to stolen weapons and property.
According to Hall, deputies executed a search warrant at the superintendent's home, which is on school grounds.
Hall said the superintendent's son is part of the investigation, and that Westenhover's son lives with his father on school property.

Hmm
Well, Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl. Does that automatically make him a terrible QB?
It takes a lot of people to win a championship in football.
