INGLEWOOD – The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office has rejected to file charges against an Inglewood business that alleged they accepted stolen merchandise from a retail theft ring.
On July 16, video circulated on social media of a group of handcuffed individuals standing on the corner of Manchester and 7th Ave. with the person recording pondering why they were all being arrested.
Commenters suggested the arrests were in connection with a popular shoe store located in the 2700 block of Manchester Blvd.
Several people were arrested and the business, Tilt, was raided by members of a Los Angeles task force assigned with battling shoplifting and other retail crimes in the area.
In total, five people were arrested including 42-year-old Aaron Isreal of L.A. and 36-year-old Trevian Holmes of Inglewood, as well as 24-year-old Brian McKing, 21-year-old Jahiem Gillett and 24-year-old Devontay Pinson all of Los Angeles.
Holmes, the co-owner of Tilt, found out the district attorney’s office rejected the case when he was due to appear in an Inglewood courtroom July 18.
Tilt is a reputable business that will continue to flourish now that the allegations against them were proven to be false.
