GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Curtis Ray Minor, 34, was arrested yesterday after allegedly stealing a Nintendo Switch that a Wawa employee had briefly set down on a counter while getting a soda.

An Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to the Wawa at Celebration Pointe at 7:30 a.m. yesterday, where the victim said he was just getting off his shift at about 6:57 a.m. when he put his Wawa apron and his Nintendo Switch, which was in a case with numerous games, on a counter while he went to get a soda.

The deputy viewed store surveillance footage that reportedly showed a man taking the Switch case at about 6:59 a.m. and then leaving the store and riding away on a bicycle.

Deputies searched the area and eventually found a homeless camp in the woods near a construction site at 4100 SW Archer Road, where they reportedly saw Minor wearing the same clothes as the man in the video and carrying a Switch case.

A search incident to arrest reportedly produced a methamphetamine pipe and 0.4 grams of methamphetamine.

Minor also had two felony warrants, one for petit theft and drug possession, and one for violating his sentence of one year of probation on drug possession charges.

Minor is being held on bail of $155,000 across the three cases.
