NORTH CAROLINA — Four people are facing charges after deputies say they stole multiple cases of beer from a convenience store in Davie County early Monday morning.
According to the Davie County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 1:18 a.m. to a Sheetz store on Yadkinville Road in reference to a larceny in progress. Investigators said two men and a woman entered the store and stole 10 cases of Modelo beer valued at $279.56 before leaving in a van with a temporary license plate.
Deputies later located the vehicle traveling east on Interstate 40 and conducted a traffic stop.
Authorities identified the occupants as driver Michael Antoine Alston of Winston-Salem and passengers Dwight Lydell Littlejohn of Pfafftown, Joshua Wayne Martin of Lexington, and Joanna Rae Murphy of Winston-Salem.
