"Kelvin Evans, the man who was charged with stealing unreleased Beyoncé music from members of her team last year, took a guilty plea on Tuesday, May 12th. As reported by WXIA-TV, Evans was facing up to six years in prison, but has now been given two years under the deal."
"He pleaded guilty to one count of entering an automobile, for which he received a five-year sentence of two years in prison and three years on probation. The second count, criminal trespass, was merged into the first count. Evans is not eligible for parole."
"While Evans will get credit for time served since being arrested in September, he also has a previous parole violation and more than a half-dozen other similar break-in cases. As a result, it is currently unclear exactly how much time he will actually have to serve in jail."
"An incident report stated that the stolen items included jump drives with watermarked music, footage plans for the show, and past and future setlists. According to warrants, Evans was tracked down by pinging a pair of stolen Apple AirPods Max headphones and reviewing surveillance footage that captured the break-in."
Kelvin Evans pleaded guilty on May 12 to one count of entering an automobile related to break-ins targeting unreleased Beyoncé music. He faced up to six years in prison but received a five-year sentence structured as two years in prison and three years on probation, with criminal trespass merged into the automobile count. He is not eligible for parole. Credit applies for time served since his September arrest, but a prior parole violation and more than six similar break-in cases make the actual jail time unclear. The theft occurred in Atlanta on July 8 at a parking deck at Krog Street Market, involving jump drives with watermarked music, show footage plans, and setlists. Warrants describe tracking him through stolen Apple AirPods Max and surveillance footage.
