Trio Takes Target For Over $10K

Norman, OK - Three individuals are accused of stealing more than $10,000 from a single Target store in Norman. Two suspects appear to be students at the University of Oklahoma.

According to court records, Keisa Laine Sutton, 22, Matthew Lewis Anderson, 20, and Melisa Redwine, 23, allegedly stole $10,484.76 in cash and merchandise from December 8 to December 20 of last year from the Target on NW 24th. Ave.

Reportedly, Sutton confessed to a Target Asset Protection Team Member (now there's a title) that the trio stole approximately $3,000 in cash along with numerous articles of clothing, at least one DVD player, a camera, Ipod and DVD's.

Target reports that some unopened merchandise and unspent cash were returned after the suspects were confronted. Target estimates $7,468.40 of cash and merchandise is still outstanding.

A quick check of enrollment records at the University of Oklahoma shows a Matthew Lewis Anderson as a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences. Records also reveal a Keisa Laine Sutton as a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences.

All three reportedly live at the Reserve on Stinson apartments in Norman.

Each of the three has been charged with felony larceny from a retailer.
