On May 9, 2026, law enforcement was dispatched to a theft compliant at Sam's Club located in Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota. A Sam's club employee reported that two male suspects had entered the liquor department and removed two cases of Don Julio Tequila from the shelf without permission. The suspects then walked towards the exit and brushed past an employee standing near the exit. The suspects passed all points of sale without paying for the merchandise and exited the store. Law enforcement contacted Sam's Club investigators and obtained surveillance video of the incident.

Surveillance footage showed a vehicle involved in a previous Costco liquor store theft dropping the suspects off outside the Sam's Club liquor store. The video captured the license plate number of the suspect vehicle. Automated license plate reader data showed the vehicle arriving at Sam's Club on May 9, 2026, at the time of the theft. Based on prior law enforcement contacts, the suspect was believed to be DEVONTA DOMINIQUE JONES [DOB REDACTED], the defendant. The defendant was photographed wearing light blue boxers and black and white tennis shoes that match his first entry into Sam's Club on 05/09/2026. A review of a 03/28/2026 booking photo from Ramsey County appeared to match the suspect in the surveillance video.

The defendant was identified through matching a unique "00" tattoo on his neck as one of the suspects in the surveillance video from the theft. The surveillance video shows the defendant running out of Sam's club with a case of liquor. Sam's Club reported that the total value of the merchandise stolen was $1,521.24.
