Napa County law enforcement arrested the other two men accused of embezzling more than $200,000 worth of wine from Jackson Family Wines, part of the Sonoma County-based Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates.

Arrest warrants were issued out of Sonoma County for Kevin Hall, 29, and Jarrett Berg, 28, both of Napa. The two were picked up and booked into the county jail on Thursday and Friday. They have been taken to Sonoma County jail for prosecution.

An arrest warrant was also issued for Jordan Crass, 29, of Santa Rosa. He was arrested in Sonoma County earlier this week.

Crass, who investigators believe was the ringleader, and Hall worked for Jackson Family Wines. They allegedly stole high-end wines from the company and sold them on the Internet. Berg is accused of delivering the wines to the buyers.

Hall is charged with three counts of possession of stolen property. Berg with one count of the same crime. Crass is facing six felonies.
