Keyshun Jones, 23, allegedly carried out the scheme in November 2025 — and it was all caught on surveillance camera.
Grapevine Police say Jones evaded arrest multiple times before finally being apprehended on April 17 with assistance from the Texas Attorney General’s Fugitive Task Force and the Fort Worth Police Department.
Jones faces charges of property theft, money laundering and evading arrest, according to police.
Detectives were alerted about the alleged theft on Nov. 29 by the owner of the franchise who directed them to CCTV footage which showed a man using a cash register to order $80,105 of the cheese and macaroni comfort food, according to a police report.
The franchise owner identified the man as Jones and told police his direct deposit had been set up through the Navy Federal Credit Union before he’d been fired in October, the report said.
There was no indication in the police report why Jones had been let go.
