ST. GEORGE, Utah – Darrell Glenn DeVoge, 50, of Cedar City, Utah, was sentenced to 72 months’ imprisonment and three years’ supervised release after he pleaded guilty to theft of firearms from a licensed dealer. DeVoge is the last of three defendants to be sentenced for burglarizing a C-A-L Ranch store in Cedar City in November 2023.
DeVoge’s codefendants include, the ringleader of the burglary, Russell Wesley Gruber, 31, and DeVoge’s son Parker Darrell DeVoge, 21, both of Cedar City. On July 9, 2025, Gruber was sentenced to 72 months’ imprisonment, and three years’ supervised release. On April 22, 2025, Parker DeVoge was sentenced to 16 months’ imprisonment and three years’ supervised release. All three defendants were ordered to pay a joint restitution in the amount of $2,406.11 to C-A-L Ranch.
According to court documents and admissions made at the defendants’ change of plea and sentencing hearings, on November 21, 2023, just before midnight Gruber, Parker DeVoge and Darrell DeVoge burglarized C-A-L Ranch in Cedar City. All three were armed with guns Gruber provided, which were stolen from prior burglaries by Gruber and Parker. After smashing display cases, they stole dozens of firearms and fled the C-A-L Ranch store. A few hours later, on November 22, 2023, Gruber and Parker DeVoge returned to C-A-L Ranch to commit a second burglary before the store opened. In total, the defendants stole 75 firearms, which included rifles, shotguns, revolvers and pistols. They also stole ammunition, red dot sights, and firearm accessories. Gruber and Darrell DeVoge then stored the stolen firearms, which had been shipped and transported in interstate commerce.
Acting U.S. Attorney Felice John Viti of the District of Utah made the announcement.
The case was investigated jointly by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Cedar City Police Department.
Assistant United States Attorneys Christopher Burton and Brady Wilson of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah prosecuted the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
