ST. LOUIS, Missouri (KMOV) -- An Oklahoma man has been charged with stealing $12,000 in Pokémon cards Saturday morning. According to the Crestwood Police Department, on October 10, 2021, a Yeti Gaming store in the 8900 block of Watson Road was robbed.

After being arrested, he later admitted to entering the store without permission and taking merchandise because he needed money. Garrison was charged with second-degree burglary, stealing $750 or more, and first-degree property damage. “Pokémon cards may seem like a trivial target, but there is nothing trivial about charges like burglary and felony theft,” said St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell. “We will not tolerate smash-and-grab in St. Louis County.”
