Jar Of Pot Stolen From Marijuana Shop, Police Say

BEAVERTON, OR — Police continue their search for the man who reportedly stole a jar of marijuana from a marijuana retail shop and then pushed an employee of the shop to the ground during his getaway Saturday.

The robbery suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Portland resident Devonte Gregory Stewart.

A petty criminal, Stewart has earned a handful of misdemeanor charges in Multnomah County since 2014.

Beaverton police were reportedly dispatched to a robbery at Growing ReLeaf, 4160 S.W. 109th Ave., just before 11:45 a.m. March 31.

Standing near the counter and front entrance to the shop, Stewart can be seen on surveillance footage snatching the jar of marijuana from the countertop and bolting out the door.

As Stewart attempted to get into a getaway car driven by an unidentified woman, one of the shop's employees tried to confront him. Stewart reportedly pushed the employee to the ground and threatened him.

The jar Stewart stole is reportedly worth more than $1,000 — and it isn't the first thing he's stolen from the shop, police said.

Stewart is accused of another theft at the same location that occurred in February.

Anyone with information about Stewart's whereabouts is asked to call Beaverton police non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111.
