Damonte Fauntroy : “Deputies arrest inside cookie store”

A man from Spotsylvania County found himself in hot water after being apprehended for breaking into Crumbl Cookies in Stafford County on May 24. Damonte Fauntroy, aged 25 and a former employee of the establishment, faced charges of breaking and entering, theft, and possession of illegal substances after being captured on surveillance cameras and subsequently surrendering to law enforcement officers.

The Stafford sheriff’s office detailed the incident:

A Spotsylvania County resident made a rather crummy decision when he attempted to break into a business in Stafford County.

Authorities were alerted to the break-in at Crumbl Cookies in Stafford Market Place at 11:16 p.m. on May 24. The management team reported that they observed a suspect inside the premises via a security camera feed.

Upon entering the building, deputies discovered that the suspect had barricaded himself in the bathroom. Realising the gravity of the situation, the suspect chose to exit the restroom and surrender rather than face the prospect of being apprehended by K-9 Titan, the formidable police dog. It seems that K-9 Titan is not one to be trifled with!

The suspect was identified as Damonte, aged 25. An investigation revealed that Fauntroy had unlawfully entered the property on seven separate occasions earlier that month to pilfer the “dough.”

During a search subsequent to his arrest, alleged controlled substances were found in Fauntroy’s trousers, although he vehemently denied ownership of the garment. Needless to say, his excuse did not hold up.

Fauntroy was charged with eight counts of breaking and entering, eight counts of petty theft, two counts of wearing a mask in public, and possession of illegal substances. He was remanded to the Rappahannock Regional Jail without the option of bail.

And that’s how the cookie crumbles.
