A Texas man is in custody in Florida until he can get something out of his system — in this case, allegedly stolen property.
Jaythan Gilder, 32, was arrested following a brazen alleged robbery at an Orlando, Florida, Tiffany & Co. store at the Mall of Millenia on Feb. 26. The Orlando Police Department stated in an arrest affidavit that Gilder visited the store without an appointment and claimed to be at the store on behalf of a player for the Orlando Magic.
Using the name “Shawn,” he asked to see some pieces of jewelry and was brought to a VIP room by a store associate. While viewing the jewelry — and while being captured on security cameras — Gilder allegedly swiped the jewelry and then violently fled the store.
