Isaias Jones, 22, is charged with embezzlement and conspiracy to commit a felony. Steven Jones, 21, and Alyia Locke, 20, are both charged with conspiracy to commit embezzlement.

According to the Tulsa Police Department, the investigation began on June 5, when Isaias Jones reported that a man walked into the store and handed him a note demanding money. Jones complied, and the suspect fled with cash.

Investigators later identified Steven Jones as the suspect. He confessed to the robbery, but said that Locke had set up the crime. Locke told investigators that Isaias Jones had asked her to find someone to rob the store so he could leave early.

All three suspects were arrested and released on bond. Locke remains in the Tulsa County Jail.
