Three individuals were apprehended after a beer theft at a 7-Eleven was recorded by a Marion County deputy’s dash camera. The event occurred around 9:45 p.m. on June 28 when Sheriff’s Cpl. Michael Stringer, while getting gas, was approached by a clerk from the convenience store. The clerk informed him that someone had just stolen beer from the store.

As the suspect vehicle was leaving the parking lot, Cpl. Stringer attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The driver, 31-year-old Jaitai Williams, refused to comply and attempted to flee. Eventually, the vehicle was stopped, and she was detained, facing charges for fleeing from law enforcement.

During the arrest, Raymond Myrick, the 48-year-old front-seat passenger, allegedly threw drugs out of the window. He was subsequently charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana, with field tests confirming the presence of THC, cocaine, and fentanyl in the discarded substances.

The back-seat passenger, 19-year-old Steven Hogan, was also detained and charged with retail petit theft. It was found that he was the one who stole the beer, as three cases of Modelo were located in the back seat where he had been sitting. All three individuals were taken to the Marion County Jail.
