Court documents reveal that Takiyha Jones, Jasmine Kimbrough, and Wael Ayari have pleaded not guilty to complicity charges related to organized crime and theft. Their bonds have been set, and they are currently in custody. A fourth employee, Kavion Hudson, is sought on a felony arrest warrant for the same alleged offenses.
