A woman was arrested on Tuesday after she allegedly damaged Drake’s high-end OVO clothing store in the plush Noho neighborhood in Manhattan, New York.

Per Page Six, the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Shauna Stoner, destroyed clothing and property amounting to $23,000, police said. Sources also told the news outlet that there was no link between Stoner and the store. “[She’s] a total random,” an insider said.

A video of Stone being escorted by officers was shared by TMZ. “It was just to cut up his clothes that he stole. My designs!” Stoner appears to have said at the time.

When Stoner entered the store, she seemingly used spraypaint to initially spray the expensive clothing on sale. She also cut clothing that was put on hangers and retrieved a hammer from her bag, using it to shatter the store’s windows. She is said to have additionally taken out what looked like a knife from her bag. 

Stoner ultimately exited the store, though she seemingly did not leave with any merchandise. She was ultimately arrested after store staff called 911. Stoner has since been charged with criminal mischief and arson.

Established in 2011, Drake’s OVO clothing store has multiple branches, Page Six reported. They are located in his native Canada, Los Angeles, London, and other locations.
