Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution is charging two individuals with felony organized retail theft. According to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office investigation, Jimmy Carter Lamar and Donkeria Euniece Burgess stole dozens of items including Stanley cups, Bogg Bags, fragrances and other products during a 30-day period, totaling between $15,000 and $20,000. Thefts occurred at numerous stores including Dicks Sporting Goods, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Ulta Beauty and others crossing multiple judicial circuits.

“his duo stole up to $20,000 worth of items, including Stanley cups, Bogg Bags and more from stores in four Florida counties within a 30-day period,” Moody said. “Organized retail theft carries a real cost to businesses, resulting in even higher prices for consumers. Thanks to our law enforcement partners working with our statewide prosecutors, these thieves face felony charges.” 

According to the investigation, Lamar and Burgess stole items including Stanley cups, Bogg Bags, high-end fragrances, cosmetics and household items by concealing the items and quickly leaving the store without paying. In a 30-day period from February to March, the duo stole $15,000 to $20,000 in merchandise from retailers including Dicks Sporting Goods, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Ulta Beauty, CVS and Walmart. The thefts occurred in Brevard, Broward, Orange and Palm Beach counties.  

Burgess committed the crimes while serving probation for a previous aggravated child abuse charge. PBSO separately arrested Lamar on charges for fleeing and eluding authorities in March. Burgess remains at large. 

Both individuals are charged with second-degree felony organized retail theft. 

Attorney General Moody’s OSP will prosecute the case.
