A suspect has been arrested in the case of Beyoncé‘s stolen unreleased music.
Back on July 8, dancer Diandre Blue and choreographer Christopher Grant were in Atlanta touring with the superstar and called the police to report that their car had been broken into. Blue and Grant told authorities that their rental car had a smashed window and that two suitcases “carrying some personal sensitive information” had been taken.
The police report said that two Apple laptops and five thumb drives were in the stolen luggage and they included “unreleased music” and other digital files related to Beyoncé’s tour.
Atlanta Police confirmed in a press release that none of the items had been recovered yet.
Billboard obtained legal documents and can confirm that Kelvin Evans was charged with one felony count of Entering Automobile or Other Motor Vehicle With Intent to Commit Theft or Felony. Evans’ bond is set at $20,000 and a preliminary hearing will be held on Wednesday.
The Atlanta Police website says Evans was taken into custody last month, on Aug. 26, by the nearby Hapeville Police Department and booked into the Fulton County Jail.
On the day Evans was arrested, Billboard Boxscore reported that the Cowboy Carter Tour grossed $102.3 million and sold 392,000 tickets over eight shows during the month of July, making it the third consecutive month that the tour hit the $100 million threshold.
