OPINION
TOCI, Judge.
This is an appeal from the sentence imposed on a judgment of conviction that Mark Chester Moore (“defendant”) commit*237ted theft from a convenience market on the Cocopah Indian Reservation. The issue is whether a non-Indian defendant who steals from a reservation convenience store, owned and operated by a joint venture between an Indian tribe and a foreign corporation authorized to do business in Arizona, is subject to State of Arizona jurisdiction. We conclude that because the crime did not significantly involve the interests of the Indian tribe, Arizona has jurisdiction.
