A Punta Gorda man has been arrested after he allegedly stole $30,000 worth of marijuana and merchandise from a dispensary.

Charlotte County deputies responded to the Curaleaf dispensary on Kings Highway just before 3 a.m. on September 27.

Deputies said it was clear someone pried their way into the back door.

When they reviewed the security footage they saw 23-year-old Tyrese Jackson wearing a mask, gloves, and carrying tools with tags still on them to pry open that door.

Everything he was wearing and the tools he used were also allegedly stolen.

Jackson was arrested during a traffic stop the next day.

Deputies found multiple curaleaf packages at his home, as well as the stolen clothing and tools taken from a Walmart.
