Washoe County Sheriff's Office deputies have arrested two suspects in the theft of a jar containing approximately $400 in donations for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Deputies arrested Tia Cryer, age 23, and John Gilman, age 25, early Monday morning at a residence in Sparks.
The initial incident occurred at approximately 2:15 a.m. on Thursday, August 23, 2018 when a male and female suspect walked into the McDonald's on 1st Avenue in Sun Valley. The couple stole the jar off the counter and the store's debit card reader.
After surveillance photos of the theft were released to local media by the Ronald McDonald House, deputies received a Secret Witness tip identifying Cryer and Gilman as the possible suspects.
Deputies obtained additional evidence and established probable cause for the couple's arrest. However, both suspects had left their known residence.
Deputies continued to search for Cryer and Gilman. Early in the morning of Monday, September 24, deputies received information that the couple were staying at a residence in Sparks. Shortly after 2:00 a.m., deputies made contact with them at the residence and took both into custody.
Cryer and Gilman were booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on several charges related to the incident.
