Listen, if there is one thing you don’t do in this life, it’s mess with Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter. Apparently, Kelvin Evans didn’t get the memo, and now he’s about to have a lot of time to think about his life choices behind the slammer.
On Tuesday, the 40-year-old finally threw in the towel, pleading guilty in Fulton County Superior Court to entering an automobile and criminal trespass. This comes after he allegedly broke into a rental Jeep back in July 2025 and walked away with a digital goldmine—including hard drives packed with unreleased Beyoncé music.
Fulton County Superior Court Senior Judge Jane C. Barwick wasn’t playing around. She slapped Evans with 2 years behind bars, 3 years of probation to follow along with a permanent “Stay Away” orders from the victims and that Krog Street parking garage.
His lawyer tried to put a positive spin on it, telling the judge, “He is looking forward to putting this relatively large part of his life behind him and hoping for a future where he can make money legitimately and be part of society like the rest of us.”
Caught in 4K (And on GPS)
As we previously reported, Evans really thought he was slick, but the technology (and the surveillance) had other plans. Prosecutors laid out the receipts before the plea was finalized:
Footage showed a red car pulling up to the victims’ 2024 Jeep Wagoneer. Another video caught that same red car at an apartment complex where Evans was seen hauling out suitcases belonging to Bey’s choreographer, Christopher Grant, and dancer Diandre Blue.
Those MacBooks he swiped? Yeah, the “Find My” feature led investigators straight to Hapeville.
This wasn’t just about some “luxury clothing and accessories” (though he got those too). The real kicker was the hard drives and the “personal sensitive information” belonging to the Queen herself.
Evans actually had the nerve to reject this exact same plea deal back in March, boldly telling the court, “I’m ready for trial now.” Fast forward to this week, jury selection starts, he sees those videos, and suddenly he’s ready to sign on the dotted line.
He’s been sitting in Fulton County Jail since August 2025, and after that January “not guilty” plea fell flat, it looks like his tour of the Georgia penal system is just getting started.
