Overview
- Dejontay Wings, a social-media comedian, was arrested Tuesday and booked on charges of simple burglary and criminal damage to property in connection with a Take 5 Oil Change break-in.
- Police say the alleged break-in occurred on Dec. 2, 2025, when a garage window was broken and roughly $200 was taken from a safe inside the business.
- Investigators and a police warrant state Wings had worked at that Take 5 location and was terminated about two weeks before the alleged theft, which prosecutors say explains his familiarity with the site.
- Authorities say a security camera malfunction prevented clear facial footage and that a business manager identified the suspect by his distinctive walk, an evidentiary point that could be legally contested.
- The arrest drew widespread online attention after a local station posted Wings’s mugshot, Wings has denied the theft in social posts, and the case remains in the pretrial stage with allegations unproven in court.
