Just two days before Halloween last year, a Missouri man allegedly stole thousands of Snickers bars from a Sam’s Club store in St. Charles.
Police are searching for Clifton L. Davis, 50, of St. Louis County, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Davis was charged last week with felony stealing in connection with the theft of 50 boxes of Snickers and two jugs of laundry detergent, valued at more than $2,600. He is currently not in custody.
Using store surveillance footage, investigators said they were able to identify Davis as the suspect accused of leaving the store with the candy bars on October 29, 2025.
Davis allegedly walked into Sam’s Club, filled a shopping cart with the candy bars and the containers of detergent, and left without paying, police said.
Security cameras later captured a man loading the candy into the back of a black Lincoln Navigator before leaving the scene.
Store employees told police they thought they recognized Davis, and believed he had previously tried to steal merchandise from the store.
Davis has an extensive criminal history and is described by court officials as being “a multi-state stealing offender with numerous arrests and convictions dating back 1992.”
He has multiple stealing convictions from stores throughout the St. Louis region since 2023, according to court records obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The candy bars would constitute Davis’ largest monetary theft.
Davis was convicted of stealing merchandise from Walmart in Wentzville, a Schnuck Market grocery store in O’Fallon, a Home Depot in Bridgeton, and a Menards in St. Ann. He also has been convicted of a theft from an unnamed store in Kirkwood.
