BILL & TED BIGSHOT BUSTED AS BURGLAR
Movie producer & galpal accused of looting $1M Hollywood-style
BILL & TED movie sequel producer Raymond Bouderau and his girlfriend didn’t have an excellent adventure when they were collared for pilfering about $1 million worth of cash, art, fine wines and other booty from luxury residences in Manhattan and Sag Harbor, N.Y., police say!
Bouderau, 49, a producer on the flick Bill & Ted Face the Music, and his onoff lover Jacqueline Jewett, 57, were slammed with felony grand larceny and burglary charges for the “meticulously planned heists,” say authorities.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney likens the scenario to “a bad movie script,” which isn’t surprising based on Bouderau’s involvement in the 2020 turkey co-starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter.
Lawmen say the real-life madcap plot involved hacking into the iCloud account of another one of Jewett’s ex-lovers to get personal information about his new girlfriend, who was the victim of the heists.
The target, whose name was withheld by police, was out of town at the time of the crimes. Cops say the dishonest duo hit two of her residences on Sept. 25. She reported the burglary after returning to her Sag Harbor home.
“The house had been ransacked, and multiple safes were compromised,” says Tierney. “Obviously, the electricity was shut off to disable whatever surveillance cameras there might have been.”
The bungling burglars were tripped up by a combination of local surveillance cameras, iCloud data and a license plate reader that identified Bouderau’s pickup truck at both crime scenes, cops say.
The prosecutor claims a Nov. 30 search of his NYC apartment turned up many of the stolen goods as well as illegal drugs and an AR-15 rifle with the ID number eradicated.
“If there’s one thing that this case illustrates, it’s that life is not like the movies,” declares Tierney. “In Suffolk County, if you steal other people’s property, whether it’s at the point of a gun or, in this case, through the planning of an elaborate heist, law enforcement will hunt you down.”
