Literal Internet Nobody Gets Busted for Felony Theft

This is a little unconventional and a partial dox, but I caught wind of a news story just today that seemed too juicy to pass up.
So about a year ago, a local game shop that sold a lot of old video games (as well as new stuff) went out of business.

A few months later this guy David Mitchell bought the location, renovated the place and then re-opened for business. Like, I don't know how much fiscal sense that made, but I thought it was sure nice of him.

Fast forward about a year with little news, I think he opened a new location, and this happens:

Employees were stealing shit from a competing game shop and selling to this new store, at the time police accounted for a few grand of stolen shit, and they thought it was just the two guys. Just today they figured out who the third guy was, though.

"GAMERS owner, David Mitchell, is facing a burglary charge after being accused of orchestrating a breaking and entering into a competitor's business on July 8.
Mitchell allegedly instructed two men, Anthony Rodriguez and Philip Williams, to steal video game consoles, accessories and other high-value items from a competing store called Gameroom, located near 72nd and Dodge streets.

Rodriguez came forward to Omaha police and said he and Williams stole multiple items from the business between June 9 and July 8.
The two men, according to Rodriguez, were instructed by Mitchell to steal the items. Rodriguez also told Omaha police that Mitchell joined Williams to steal more items from Gameroom at least five or six times.
Williams, a former Gameroom employee, still had a key to the front door of the business.
Rodriguez confessed to his role, according to court documents."
"Officials said there estimated total loss of merchandise from Gameroom over the period of time burglaries happened is about $58,685."
So, this dude was orchestrating low-key robberies from competing stores and selling off the merchandise in a scheme seemingly straight out of the movie "Fargo." At this point my interest was piqued, there is no trial date yet, but I did some more research and I found out that this dude is a straight up internet nobody, with youtube, paymeton and everything. His name is, and this is real, "Hood Gaming TV." I've linked to his channel, his twitter and his paymeton below.

I thought about putting this thread in Nobodies, but I'm not really interested in this dude's videos so much as I'm interested in the court case and its developments. But this came at me fast. This news came out just last night.
