Tommy Lee Adams

On September 3, 2025, J. C., a loss prevention investigator at Cub Foods on [ADDRESS REDACTED] South in Bloomington, Hennepin County, Minnesota noticed an empty bottle of Gatorade in a garbage can in a secure loss prevention office. He thought this was odd because the last time J. C. Was in the office, he emptied the trash, and no one should have been in the office after that. His review of security cameras inside the office showed that on August 24, 2025, at approximately 10:00 P.M., an unknown male entered a secure side door to Cub Foods, entered a locked loss prevention office, almost immediately sat down at the security desk, and started maneuvering cameras away from the beauty section of the store.

The male went out onto the sales floor. A short time later, the male returned with several unidentified items, bagged them up, moved the cameras back to where they were, and exited through the fire exit door in the loss prevention office that leads to the side of the building where the parking lot is, and loaded the items into a dark-colored Jeep Cherokee. J. C. Checked to see if there were signs of a forced entry in the loss prevention office and there were none. J. C. Viewed surveillance video with other members of the loss prevention teams.

The team all agreed that the individual doing this must have worked in a loss prevention role to have key access and knowledge of the camera system, knowledge of the location of the fire exit door, and knowledge of when other loss prevention staff would be working. The team also agreed that the individual resembled TOMMY ADAMS, [DOB REDACTED] (hereinafter “Defendant”), a former employee who worked for Cub Foods loss prevention on and off for fifteen years and is currently employed by the Saint Paul Police Department as a police officer.

Defendant’s employment at Cub Foods ended on October 14, 2017. Members of the loss prevention team identified thirteen times that the male they believed to be Defendant entered the store through a secure door, entered a secure loss prevention office to move security cameras, took items, and loaded those items into a Jeep Cherokee, which was usually parked in the same part of the parking lot. J. C. Used open-source data to determine Defendant had received a parking ticket on August 13, 2024, at the vehicle registered to him was a 2017 Jeep bearing Minnesota license plate number LBG861. The thirteen incidents took place on the following dates: • November 5, 2024, at 11:31 P.M. • November 27, 2024, at 11:15 P.M. • December 23, 2024, at 11:53 P.M. • January 28, 2025, at 11:28 P.M. • March 11, 2025, at 10:16 P.M. • March 21, 2025, at 10:04 P.M. • March 30, 2025, at 11:03 P.M. • April 23, 2025, at 11:21 P.M. • May 16, 2025, at 11:00 P.M. • June 23, 2025, at 10:46 P.M. • June 29, 2025, at 10:41 P.M. • August 3, 2025, at 10:42 P.M. • August 24, 2025, at 10:17 P.M.
