    This guy has been repeatedly arrested for beating women. Why do you feature his art?

    I want to support what Tracy said. I hope someone at the Homeless Garden retail store reads these comments and takes them to heart.

    Mr. Stephens is an unrepentant career criminal and has been regularly (since 2004) arrested and prosecuted for domestic violence, illegal weapons, dealing and using meth, probation violations, etc. These are not crimes of the distant past: his most recent conviction was in June of 2023.

    This man’s art needs to be removed from every store that still carries it, and any outstanding proceeds should be donated to a suitable organization serving victims of violent crime.

    Murdered his girlfriend in 2021 and got away with it, too. Should be put in prison for life.

      I saw your post about Shadley Stephens. I am deeply concerned. Apparently he is in a relationship with my Granddaughters mother and I would like as much information as I can get about the man. I would appreciate it if you could contact me and help me to know exactly who this guy is. It says on his Facebook page that he was born in 2001 but I also saw a post on this page that he was born on July 13, 2001 and has been a career criminal since 2004 which can’t be possible cuase he would have been 3 years old. There is only 1 picture of him and its not very good , and I thought he looked much older so I am really worried about who this guy is and is he dangerous to Anya Dillon, the woman he is supposedly involved with. Thank you for any help you can give me.
