Sheriff's Deputies Make Sweet Arrest at Cookie Store

A Spotsylvania County man was arrested after breaking into Crumbl Cookies in Stafford County on May 24. Damonte Fauntroy, 25, who had previously worked at the company, was charged with multiple counts of breaking and entering, theft and possession of a controlled substance after he was caught on security cameras and return to the deputies.

From the Stafford Sheriff's Office:

A Spotsylvania County man should have been wary of breaking into a Stafford County business.

On May 24 at 11:16 p.m., officers responded to Crumbl Cookies in Stafford Market Place for a break and enter. Management said they were able to see a suspect inside the closed building through a security camera feed.

Officers entered the business and determined the suspect had locked himself in the bathroom. Making perhaps the wisest choice of the night, the suspect chose to exit the restroom and surrender rather than let K-9 Titan come and make the arrest. We all know K-9 Titan is a tough cookie!

The suspect was identified as 25-year-old Damonte. The investigation revealed that Fauntroy had been employed at the company for a short time last year. Deputy JA Albright determined that Fauntroy broke into the premises seven times this month to take the “money.”

A search incident to arrest revealed potentially controlled substances in Fauntroy's pants, although he insisted they were not his pants. This excuse is sure to collapse.

Fauntroy was charged with eight counts of breaking and entering, eight counts of petit larceny, two counts of wearing a mask in public and possession of a controlled substance. He was held without bail at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

And that’s how the cookie crumbles.
