The final chapter closed on a high-caliber heist in Cedar City as Darrell Glenn DeVoge, aged 50, joined his accomplices in receiving federal prison sentences for their roles in the theft of 75 firearms from a local C-A-L Ranch store. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, DeVoge received a 72-month prison term and is mandated to serve three years of supervised release following his imprisonment; his sentencing echoes that of the burglary's mastermind, Russell Wesley Gruber, and DeVoge's progeny, Parker Darrell DeVoge, as stated by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah.
The trio's crime spree, as detailed on the Department of Justice website, commenced under the shroud of the November night in 2023, their actions not just an affront to law but an act laid bare as betrayal against community safety, armed, they shattered the tranquility of Cedar City, wielding illicit firearms, smashing and grabbing armaments destined not for protection but for the perverse profit of the thief, Gruber and the DeVoges swiftly absconded with their pilfered wares, only to embolden their audacity with a second burglary merely hours later.
Justice, though often patient, is unyielding, with the case being a joint effort between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Cedar City Police Department to piece together the fragments left behind by the trio, as the U.S. Department of Justice reports. Collectively, the culprits have been instructed to pay $2,406.11 in restitution to C-A-L Ranch, a mere fraction of the potential havoc wrought by such a cache of weapons once loose on the streets.
