Arrest warrants have been issued for two of three suspects in connection with the Aug. 27 burglary of Rosepepper Cantina in East Nashville.
Payton Leann England, 28, and Jae Alexander Kisac, 29, are wanted on charges of burglary and felony theft. Police said the pair, along with one more unidentified individual, stole dozens of bottles of liquor worth an estimated $2,000 from a stockroom at the popular Mexican restaurant.
The case immediately drew attention online after the owners of Rosepepper posted security footage of the theft on Instagram. The restaurant saw an outpouring of support from customers in the days following the incident, though bartenders had to get creative with tequila substitutes.
A video posted by the Rosepepper Instagram account shows three people enter a small liquor stockroom and pick up boxes before one of them puts his hat over the camera. Metro Nashville Police Department spokesperson Don Aaron said restaurant management reported the trio took 66 bottles of alcohol.
Police said tips from the community led to the identification of the two suspects, and anyone who sees them is asked to contact Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
Rosepepper Cantina’s owners hope for a fitting punishment for the thieves who stole the restaurant’s tequila inventory.
